Lastly

message from me

By Oreofe AdesojiPublished 8 months ago 3 min read

Hey

I’ve been sitting with this for a few days now, going back and forth in my head about how to say it. I didn’t want to rush it, or send something careless that might feel cold or confusing. You deserve better than that. So I took my time—not to stall, but to make sure I could speak from a place of clarity and kindness.

The truth is… this isn’t easy for me to say. Mostly because there’s nothing “wrong” between us. We didn’t fight. There was no big moment that ruined things. And honestly, I’ve enjoyed getting to know you. You've been easy to talk to, thoughtful in your words, and present in a way that not everyone is. There’s something real in that, and I don’t want to pretend like it didn’t matter. It did.

But sometimes, even when everything seems fine on the surface, something deeper quietly tells you that you're not fully in it—and that's where I find myself now. I’ve been trying to ignore that feeling, thinking maybe it would pass, or maybe I just needed more time. But the truth is, it hasn’t passed, and dragging it out would only lead to confusion, and possibly hurt, on both sides. I respect you too much to do that.

So I’m writing this to say that I don’t think I can keep moving forward with this talking stage. I know we haven’t defined anything too seriously yet, and maybe from the outside it wouldn’t seem like a big deal. But to me, even something like this deserves honesty. It deserves a proper ending, rather than a slow fade or unexplained silence.

I want to make it clear that this isn’t about you lacking anything. It’s not that I met someone else, or that you did something wrong. It’s just that my heart isn’t in the right place to keep building something new. And if I kept going, I’d be pretending—not outright lying, but quietly drifting, and that wouldn’t be fair to either of us.

You’ve been good to me. You've shown care, you’ve listened, and you’ve given your time. That means something. And even though this won’t grow into anything more, I don’t walk away from it feeling indifferent. I walk away grateful—for the kindness, the connection, and the reminder that there are still people in this world who know how to hold a conversation, share a moment, and treat someone with respect.

Sometimes, two people meet at the right time in the wrong way. Or maybe it’s the wrong time in the right way. I don’t know. But I do know that not every connection is meant to be carried further—and not every ending has to be dramatic or messy to be real.

So this is me being real with you: I’m stepping back. I’m closing this chapter gently, with appreciation, and no bitterness. You deserve someone who’s fully present, fully sure, and fully ready. And I hope you find that, because you honestly deserve it.

Thank you, again—for the conversations, for the lightness, and for making space for me, even for a short while. Please take care of yourself, and keep being good to people. The right person will see you and stay. I know that for a fact.

Wishing you nothing but peace and good things ahead.
