This isn't just a countdown; it's a decade-long narrative, patiently waiting to unfold the story of how much you mean to me.
It is a story of a boy who sacrificed his feelings, thinking it would fix everything in the quiet of his world. Instead, it became a weight on his heart, leaving a deep hurt. Now, he carries this silent burden, not sure how long it'll take to heal, maybe forever.
