They were suffocating beneath the weight of everything left unsaid-
a silence loud enough to shatter them both.
Anaiah was the kind of girl you notice twice-
once when she enters,
and again when her absence lingers longer than it should.
Fabio was all restraint,
a boy who kept his feelings folded too tightly to show.
But something about her
made him look twice, stay longer, speak softer.
They never named what was between them.
Maybe out of fear.
Maybe because it felt too fragile to touch.
Two hearts trapped in unspoken truths,
pulled together by a fragile thread.
