Before the sold-out shows, the screaming crowds, and the life that pulled him away from me, there was just us - late nights, shared headphones, and a future we never said out loud. When Calum left to chase his dream, I told myself love was patient. That best friends always find their way back. Years later, he does come back - older, famous, and still looking at me like I'm home. But some things don't stay broken once. Loving him was never loud. It was the bassline between us - steady, constant... and the thing that broke us both.

Sunshine doesn't mean I don't feel the storm." June People say I light up rooms. That I'm all sunshine and softness, with a laugh that sticks and eyes that still believe in happy endings. And maybe I was that girl once. I've spent six years loving a man who made me feel safe and seen. Aaron was everything-steady, strong, my partner in building dreams. He helped me turn my dance studio into something real. He proposed with shaking hands and a tear in his eye. And I said yes with every piece of my heart. But three weeks before our wedding, he told me he needed to meet up with his high school sweetheart. I said yes. I trusted him. Then he came home and told me we had to postpone the wedding. He didn't cheat. He didn't leave. He was just... confused. And that broke me more than anything else could. So I canceled the wedding. I packed away the dress, the flowers, the future I'd memorized. And now? Now I have to figure out who I am without him. I don't know where this story ends. All I know is-I loved him with everything I had. And I won't beg to be chosen twice.

"I just wanna stay in that lavender haze." - Taylor Swift These were never meant to be read. But here they are-out in the open. I wrote about you in silence. In notes. In letters. In messages I never sent. Maybe out of fear, maybe out of timing. Maybe because I didn't know how to say "I love you"... so I said "I purple you" instead. This isn't a story. Just fragments. Of a girl who felt too much and said too little. Of a boy who might never know. And of a heart that finally got tired of hiding. Not so secret anymore, hehe.
