For the Camera

We were love goals.
Millions of strangers said so - under every post, every kiss, every fake laugh.
But somewhere between the brand deals and scripted date nights, we forgot how it actually felt to be in love.

There were too many managers. Too many captions. Too many hands in our lives.
And we let them in.
Because it was easy. Because it paid. Because pretending was safer than breaking.

Then someone - someone who didn't care about fame or filters - looked at us and asked:

"Do you still feel each other's love when the cameras are off?"
"Or have you forgotten how to be real?"

I didn't know how to answer.
Because the truth is... I don't remember the last time he touched me like I mattered.
I don't remember the last time I looked at him and didn't see an audience.

This isn't a breakup story.
It's a reckoning.
Of who we became,
Who we lost,
And what's left after the final post is made.
