happier
inspired by a summer, a song, and someone who felt like almost.
they met when the sun was too bright and the music too loud.
when the world smelled like sunscreen and the hours slipped by unnoticed.
he danced for a crowd - but it was the boy watching from the edge who made him smile.
there were rules they didn't talk about.
a difference in age, in place, in time.
but none of that mattered when they laughed under disco lights or whispered soft goodbyes into the night.
it was never supposed to mean anything.
but it did.
and when the summer ended, something stayed behind.
now, years later, there's a name he can't forget.
a face that shows up in dreams,
and a question that lingers like the last note of a song he can't stop humming.
this is the story of a boy who loved quietly,
and the boy he let go.
of what it means to miss someone you were never allowed to keep -
and what it means to find your way back.
"i hope you're happy...
but don't be happier."
