Almostchosen قصص

They were always there-just one moment, one word, one glance away from being seen. To the world, they were the best friend, the extra in the background, the emotional safety net. But behind every smile was a heart quietly breaking, hoping to be chosen... just once. Almost Chosen is a tender, aching story told from the perspective of the one who stayed in the shadows. It's about unspoken love, missed chances, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when the spotlight never lands on you. Because sometimes, the hardest part isn't being forgotten-it's being remembered as almost enough.

Is This How a Relationship Feels Like? is a poetry collection that sits quietly between love and doubt. These poems are about the kind of connection that doesn't come with labels-where conversations feel intimate, but clarity never arrives. Where effort is given deeply, yet reassurance stays distant. Where love exists, but safety doesn't. Written in soft free verse, this book traces the journey of almost-love: the slow attachment, the unanswered questions, the exhaustion of giving more, and the gentle realization that love should not feel this confusing. With simple metaphors and raw emotion, each poem reads like a thought you were afraid to admit but felt every day. This is a book for those who stayed longer because they cared more. For hearts that loved quietly, waited patiently, and learned slowly. For anyone who has ever asked themselves- Is this how a relationship feels like, or am I settling for less?
