Her poems are - in the majority - addressed to her love, as if she'd written him these poems as letters to track moments of significant changes in their relationship

This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

The Art of Unloving
Love is beautiful, intoxicating, and all-consuming-until it isn't. When she first met him, the world seemed to realign, as if every moment before had been leading her to him. Their love was the kind that existed in stolen glances, whispered promises, and the soft hum of a song playing in the background of their most intimate moments. But love, as she learned, does not always stay. And when it leaves, it takes pieces of you with it. Now, with nothing left but memories and an aching heart, she turns to the one thing that has never abandoned her-her words. Through the pages of her journal, she unravels the story of their love, tracing the moments that built them and the ones that broke them. She writes of the first touch, the lingering embraces, the fire in their kiss, and the silence that eventually replaced it all. Each page is a step toward healing, a reckoning with the past, and a surrender to the truth she's been too afraid to admit: sometimes, loving means learning how to unlove. But unloving is an art, one she is still trying to master. Told through poetic prose and raw emotion, The Art of Unloving is a poignant journey of love, loss, and self-discovery. It is a story for those who have loved deeply and lost painfully, for those who are still picking up the pieces, and for those who believe that even in heartbreak, there is hope.

Falling, Still
"What does it mean to love someone who doesn't love you back? To wait, to hope, to wonder if love can change the way the stars align?" This is not just a story,it's a journey. A raw, intimate recollection of love that bloomed in silence, of moments that lingered too long in the spaces between friendship and something more. It's about patience, about the ache of wanting, and the quiet magic of the unexpected. But this isn't a tragedy. This is a love story. A story of persistence, of quiet longing turned into something real;of two souls finding their way to each other against all odds. Some love stories are loud, written in fireworks and grand gestures. This one was whispered..written in stolen glances, unsaid words, and the kind of love that waits. If you've ever loved, lost, or wondered what it means to hold on-this is for you.
