Love is a day dream. With no true definition, we spend our entire lives fantasizing about what love could be. We wonder...If they buy me flowers and surprise me with spontaneous romance, does that mean they love me? If they constantly chase after me even when I'm sprinting at a pace they'll never catch up to, will they never leave me? Would they take a bullet for me? Would they die for my love? Would you die for love?
Hunter finds herself in a spew of unidentified questions that she yearns to answer. She goes from being a person who thought she had her whole life planned and tracked, to being a person who doesn't know what they want at all. As her dream begins to fade away, she's forced to wake up and accept reality.

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete

However, there was a catch - his beloved was far away, and their relationship was bound by distance. Despite the odds stacked against them, the young boy refused to give up, fighting valiantly to keep the flame of their love burning bright. But fate is a fickle mistress, and three years later, tragedy struck. The boy received the heartbreaking news that his long-distance girlfriend had passed away. Consumed by grief and struggling to make sense of his loss, he turned to his diary for solace, seeking answers to the question that haunted him day and night: when did it all go wrong? As he embarked upon the daunting task of unraveling the enigma before him, our protagonist found himself confronted with an array of formidable obstacles that threatened to entangle him in their grasp and impede his progress. These challenges, which were to prove more insurmountable than he had anticipated, weighed heavily upon him, shackling his life and casting doubt upon his ability to overcome them. Thus began a journey of self-discovery, as the young boy poured his heart out onto the pages of his diary, reliving the memories of his past and grappling with the harsh realities of the present. From the highs of first love to the lows of crushing loss, his story is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.)Complete

Disturb My Peace (Revising)
I adored the way love appeared on the big screen-two people destined to go to great lengths just to be together. Above all else, they bent the world to make space for their love. And yet, I never once asked why: if love is boundless, without constraint, why does it so often arrive as an interruption-demanding more than it can give? Maya says love recognizes no barriers. I take that as gratitude for those with genuine hearts and sound minds. As for me, if you must intrude, disturb my peace-not my time. I remember the first time you let my heart bleed. We were young, and I prayed to God to change your mind-but my life was just beginning. I told myself, if it's meant to be, it will find its way back to me. So I wiped my tears and continued on my way. But then I found you again. Maybe I should have turned the other way. Maybe I should have been harder, colder, wiser. But something in me stayed soft. And just maybe-you were the answer. So I stayed. And I pray that my love for you won't be the end of me.Complete
