You weren’t just another chapter in the narcissist’s life. You were the one they remembered every single day, whether they admitted it or not. You did not blend into the crowd of admirers and enablers. You did not flatter them just to stay close. You saw through their charm. You questioned their stories. You refused to become their puppet.

Your love—real love—became the standard they could not reach again. You did not just pass through their life; you altered it. You became the benchmark, the one they secretly compared everyone else to.
