"Died in her sleep" is supposed to be a comforting phrase. Its suppose to ease the pain of loss. "She's in a better place." What place could be better than with those who love her? "Her suffering has ended." Even that one isn't comforting when you know that your suffering has just begun. Everything you didn't ask comes to mind and everything you shouldn't have said. Every fight seems meaningless, Every happy moment seems lost. Now that she is gone you have a whole lifetime to ponder what you should have done differently. Should have been more grateful, more loving, more truthful. Now its too late.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
Almost Perfect~
Living with no change in a city where no one seemed to leave or stay. She wanted a little change but got a whole lot more. It's really Loving someone who doesn't love you back that hurts. Perhaps it isn't the fact that they don't love you, but the fact that you loved them so much it hurt and they had no idea you even existed. Its not until they notice you that the hurt goes away and everything becomes perfect. But nothing can be perfect, in Robert Frost's words, "So dawn goes down to day, Nothing gold can stay" This is my first fanfic and is short with a terrible ending. Maybe one day I'll get around to adding more or something.Complete
All of The Girls
She knew he'd been in love before. Not just once, not just in passing. Real, deep, messy love. And maybe that should've been her sign to keep her distance. To not let herself feel too much. But instead, it made her pause. Because the way he talked about them-the girls before her- it wasn't bitter. It wasn't dramatic. It was quiet. Thoughtful. Almost gentle. He remembered birthdays, late-night calls, stupid little details no one else would hold on to. He loved them well. Or at least, he tried. And that's what messed her up. Because it made her want to fall even harder. And at the same time, it made her want to run. She wasn't afraid of his past. She was afraid that someone like him-someone who had already given so much-might not have anything left for her. Or worse, that he would love her the same way. And she'd fall for it, just like they did. And end up as another name he says gently, years, from now.
Quiet storm
You ever love somebody so soft, it sound like rain hittin' a window instead of thunder? She wasn't chaos - she was calm. The type of peace that make a man put down everything that hurt him just to hold her right. They called me hard 'cause I survived. She called me human 'cause I could still feel. I ain't know love could whisper. Ain't know healing could hum. She ain't fix me - she reminded me I wasn't broken. She saw poetry where the world saw pressure. Told me even the street got a heartbeat if you listen close enough. Now I walk different. Talk different. Love louder - even when I don't say nothin'. 'Cause love like ours don't need noise. It's steady. It's home. It's the quiet after the storm.Complete
Unexpected
"Don't go." "I'm so sorry." It started out as hate and now she's sleeping in my bed? She's stubborn and innocent, but yet hidden away and broken. I'm not supposed to like girls, or so I've been told, but how can I resist her? (Some things may be triggering.)Complete
love made me blind
She cared about other getting hurt...but she never thought about the fact that she's being hurt by someone she was supposed to let go and now...it's basically to late.Complete
