She said : “It started with a glance in class.
He didn’t even notice me.
But I noticed everything—
his laugh, his shoes, the way he never looked down. The way he perfectly fit in “
He said: “She looked at me by accident.
Or maybe not.
Either way, she smiled
and suddenly, school was my favorite part of the day.”
She said: “it was js a group project , but he paid attention not to the project but to me”
He said: “I was smart enough to do the project in my own but I wanted her to be there and something in me wanted to spend more time with her”
She said,
“We texted all summer, talked about everything and nothing.
I started to fall—
not slowly, but all at once,
like teenagers do.”
He said,
“She made me feel like I mattered.
Like even my dumbest jokes were worth hearing.
No one had ever looked at me like that.”
She said:
“He held my hand like I was all his ,
I thought,
Maybe this is what love feels like.”
He said,
“She wore my hoodie like it was armor.
And when she said my name
God, it sounded like forever.”
She said: “ I’m a broken piece and I don’t know how to fix myself,
And I blabbed about my past.”
He said: I love her regardless,
I listened to all the pain that was left to dust.
She said: I think he’s could be the one, the one we both come from college to meet back home.
He said: my parents like her maybe she could be the one.
She said,“Then one day, the replies got shorter.
He stopped walking me to class.
And I knew—
something was changing.”
He said: “I didn’t know how to say I was drowning.
School, friends, pressure—
I couldn’t carry her heart and mine too.”
She said : “I still love him, I think.
But now it hurts more than it heals.”
He said: “She was my first real thing.
And maybe I ruined it,
but I’ll never forget the way she looked at me
like I was worth the fall.”
She said: I’ve tried everything I can to get over him.
Obsessed over someone else, transferred my emotional pain to physical pain to emotional but nothing seems to work.
Little does he know : I still love him
He said: “how could she do this how could she get over me so quick. I really don’t know what it is but what I do know that it still pains”
She said: “ I would kill to still be in your life, but now I need to let go and you need to let me go”
He said: “ I think it’s for the best if we take some time, eventually we will be friends again I hope.”
She thought it was all a dream of it ending but the kind that still haunts her or so it seems.
