Lando Norris

I knew she'd be here today.
I just didn't think it would hurt like this.

Her husband's arms are wrapped around her like armor, but she's watching me—and I'm watching her. It's like five years never passed. Like time froze the moment she walked away from me that morning, and everything since has just been background noise.

God.
The things I'd say to her right now—
There's just too many.

But I can't.
I won't.

So I force a smile. I turn to the crowd—my fans, my constants. The people who never left. The ones who didn't rip a permanent hole in my heart. And I lift the trophy like it means something. Like it fills the space she carved out and never came back to fill.

The biggest problem is... no one knows.

No one knows what happened.
No one knows the truth.

There were no headlines. No confessions. No closure.
It was always just ours. Secret and sacred.

And maybe that's why it hurts more. Because she's here, and everyone else sees just another face in the crowd. But to me, she's the only one.

I glance back toward her.

She's turning to leave.

But then—she looks over her shoulder.
Right at me.

And she mouths it.

I love you. I'm sorry.

It hits me like a punch to the chest.

Tears prick my eyes before I can stop them. I swallow hard, blinking fast, standing in front of thousands of people. But all I see is her.

And for a split second, I don't feel like a winner.
I feel like a man who let go of something he was never supposed to lose.










Dear Liz,

I know you are married now, i know you have a beautiful daughter, i know you have moved on. And that is why i am writing this to you, as a last goodbye, of all the things i never got to tell you over the past 5 years. I know that you have a new life, without me in it, and i'm happy for you, really
I am. But fuck me i wish i was your husband, i wish i gave you your child, i wish we had a family. I would love you with all my heart, and the issue is that no one gets me like you. You were my person, you were the end for me. I know it. You got me in a way no one else ever will. And now i don't know what to do. Seeing you with Oliver made me want to rip out my heart. I love you Lizzie. I think I've realised that now. I love you so much, and i cant have you and that makes this all the more horrible. Seeing you dance with him, kiss him. That should be me. I fucking hate this. Why did life end up this way. I mean who would have thought, me falling in love with the most perfect person in this world? Not me thats for sure. But wow you were pretty fucking perfect, sweet, funny, we had things in common. I loved you. It's been over five years and we are mutual, but you are like a stranger i know everything about. It's so weird, Lizzie Jones- the first woman i ever loved, and the one who will forever hold a part of my heart.

Love Lando
