They always ask me what I feel for Jia. And I never answer right away. Not because I don't know but because there are some truths too heavy to say in one breath. My love for Jia is not loud. It doesn't break doors open or demand to be seen. It doesn't fight for attention, and it doesn't try to rewrite her story. It simply... stays. Even when she forgets. Even when she chooses someone else. Even when I become nothing more than a shadow standing at the edge of her life. I love her in the way the sky loves the sea- always above her, always watching her waves crash into things she can't control. "Do you still love her?" they ask me sometimes. And I almost laugh. Because the question assumes it ever stopped. I do. Not in a way that demands she comes back to me. Not in a way that turns into anger or possession. But in a way that quietly bleeds. I remember her in pieces her voice saying my name like it meant something safe, her eyes looking at me like I was part of her world before everything shattered. And now? Now she's rebuilding herself. With me by her side. I see it. I accept it. I don't fight it. Because if Jia ever had to choose between being saved and being loved the way I love her... I would choose her survival every single time. Even if it means I lose her. That is what makes my love dangerous. Not because I would destroy for her but because I would disappear for her without hesitation. There are nights I wonder what I am to her now. A memory? A mistake? A lesson she survived? But even then, I don't hate her for it. Because loving Jia was never about possession. It was about witnessing her exist softly, painfully, beautifullyeven when she was never fully mine. And maybe that is the cruelest part. I never stopped loving her...but I also never asked her to stay. So I remain here, in silence, in distance, in restraint loving her in the only way I know how: Not by holding her. But by letting her go... every single day, all over again.

"I watched him build the world I dreamed of, without ever knowing. He was already a part of it." Echoes of an Older Summer means loving Frost in a way that never really learned how to leave. He is my old summer-the season of my life when everything still felt simple, even when I didn't understand what I was feeling. The time when I looked at him like he was something permanent. Like he would always be there in the background of my growing years, steady and unchanging. He was warmth I didn't know I was already depending on. But summer doesn't stay the same forever. And neither did we. We changed. We broke in silence. We loved without naming it, hurt each other without meaning to, and lost pieces of what we were before we even realized we were losing them. He left in ways that felt like protection, and I stayed behind trying to understand why love sometimes feels like distance. Yet even when that season ended, its echoes stayed. The echo is every memory that refuses to fade: The way he looked at me when he thought I wasn't noticing The safety I felt when he was near The jealousy I never admitted The comfort of his voice saying my name The way his presence always felt like home The pain of not being chosen clearly The love I never fully confessed but always carried An echo is something that is gone, but still returns when everything is quiet. That is Frost to me. Even when he is not beside me, I still feel him in the silence. Even when I try to move on, I find him in every familiar place. Even when I tell myself I should forget, my heart remembers first. Frost is not just someone I loved. He is the love I grew up with. He is the boy who became a wound I never stopped touching. He is the summer that ended but never stopped echoing inside me.
