I may never find
words beautiful enough
to describe all
that you mean to me
but I will spend
the rest of my life
searching for them.

[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know.

Insomnia
Maria Garme has always found solace in words. Poetry spills from her like a confession, each stanza stitched with longing, loss, and the quiet ache of a girl who has spent her life on the outside looking in. She doesn't expect anyone to truly understand her-not her absent mother, not her well-meaning but struggling father, and certainly not the enigmatic boy who watches her from across the room at poetry night. Abel Iglesias is all sharp edges and unspoken pain, a storm bottled up in a boy who drowns his emotions in music and midnight skating. The city is his escape, the stars his only witnesses-until Maria steps into his world. Their connection is undeniable, intense, and terrifying. But love doesn't come easy for two people who have spent their lives running from their pasts. When secrets unravel and fear pushes them apart, Maria and Abel are forced to confront the truth: love is beautiful, but it is also heavy. And sometimes, the weight of it is enough to break you. Under the city lights, between whispered poetry and quiet confessions, they must decide-will they keep running, or will they find a way back to each other before it's too late? A raw, lyrical, and deeply emotional story about love, healing, and the echoes we leave in the hearts of those who truly see us.Complete
