Once we stood side by side,
Shoulders brushing, hearts entwined.
Then steps were taken, slowly at first,
Until a gulf between us burst.

The distance grew, a chasm wide,
Echoing the pain we could not hide.
Footsteps faltered, words fell flat, 
As we retreated, back to back.

Yet in the space between us here,
Glimmers of what once drew us near.
A chance, perhaps, to start anew -
To bridge the distance, me and you. Shoulders brushing, hearts entwined.
Then steps were taken, slowly at first,
Until a gulf between us burst.

The distance grew, a chasm wide,
Echoing the pain we could not hide.
Footsteps faltered, words fell flat, 
As we retreated, back to back.

Yet in the space between us here,
Glimmers of what once drew us near.
A chance, perhaps, to start anew -
To bridge the distance, me and you.All Rights Reserved

To Be Torn Apart by zekestell

For others, growing up means growing apart, but for us, it felt different. We were inseparable, two halves of a whole, convinced that as long as we had each other, we could conquer anything the world threw our way. We were bound by something that felt unshakable-a connection so deep, it was as if the universe had designed us to fit perfectly together. But life has a cruel sense of irony. None of us could have predicted that the very force keeping us together would eventually drive us apart. What we thought was our foundation slowly became the fault line of every crack, every misunderstanding, every silence that grew too heavy to bear. Sometimes love is like that-a double-edged sword. It builds and destroys, heals and hurts, holds and pushes away. And before we knew it, the thing we once believed was our greatest strength became the storm that tore us apart.

HEAVEN AND BACK ; Y. CHISHIYA by Redolen

After you both survived the "meteor", there was something that Chishiya really wanted to tell you. It was something that he's planned to for quite a while, but could never find the right time to tell you. When will it happen?.. And will all be well after?

Dance of Life by nekocandy4life

Take this pain, rip out my heart if you have to! I don't want this anymore! Dancing. Fast pace, Bend. Twirl. Dip. Up, down, Left, right, Fast pace.

Never by Berry-O-Pokemob

Never did I think I would see them once more Never did I think I would help them after all the hell they put me through Never did I think I would be-friend them Never did I discover who they really were Never did I get to know who they really were; Until it was too late...

paramour by adi-mee

"Don't cry love. It's not your burden to bear." He pulled away, looking me in the eyes seriously. I paused for a moment, then embraced him tighter and kissed him fervently once more. "You made it my burden when you said you loved me."

Holding on and Letting go [Complete] by PotterMIfs

[BLURB] "Well, now I'm back and I'm gonna drag you to court, you piece of shite," she said before passing a humorless chortle. "Do that and you're doomed." He sniggered, his manevolent gaze hurling obscenities towards her. "Oh yeah? How?" She rose a perfect eyebrow, animosity etched on each lineament. "Let's just say, I have something of yours that'll destroy you." The telltale monstrosity perceptible in his evil kingdom of eyes set a havoc inside her adrenaline rushing body but she held her grounds strong. "And what's that?" And there he showed her something that choked the life out of her frail body as she lost her balance in dizziness. ****** Love is elusive but sometimes it knocks right at your door but you're too arrogant to pay it any heed or maybe too scared to acknowledge it. Either way, destiny always knows how to play its part well. You can ignore it but can never run away from it. It never lets you evade itself and follows you everywhere, like a shadow. Crooning and spreading its arms right open at you, enveloping you from every nook, cajoling you, brandishing your tattered soul, and enticing you to the point where you have to surrender and accept it. Where you have to hold on to it and let everything else go. Because sometimes all a ragged soul and a chasm heart need is a pint of love. The tale of two youngsters who kept finding their way towards each other no matter how hard they tried to ignore it. Life would always collide their paths. Always making up their minds to never see each other again to always bumping on each other, destiny already had something else in store for them. So what was it? A journey of loathing to love. A journey of holding on and letting go.

Friends (SubzeroExtabyte x Reader )*Completed* by RandomGirl061

Y/N, which is you, was walking around the campus of your high school. You hear something weird. Like the sound of somebody getting pushed up against the lockers. You recognize the sound. All too well. You turn the corner and see the one person you never wanted to see again. The one who hurt you. The one who left, and left you broken. The one who let your trust and faith in people slip. The one who let you become lonely. The person who made you happy, but then let you fall and get buried ten feet under. He's the person you didn't feel like seeing. You weren't ready. You don't know what to do. They left, they let you become broken, they let you lose all hope in people, and now he's back. You wish it weren't true. You wish he never would've come back. Will you let them back in, or will you keep them out.

I Should've Known: Book Two by Kat7729

My heart begins to race. My lungs tighten as the walls seem to close in on me. Their staring eyes stab through my muscles as I turn stiff. Then I realize it. My mind and eyes looking for an escape. I want to run away. I want to leave. I suddenly feel trapped. For the first time, his blue eyes do not create that comfort mg heart yearned for all these years. They're the same icy coldness I saw in my father when he left. "I'm sorry. I...I can't." Run. Run just like he did to you. Break him just like he did to you. I should've known it's what I know best.

Windows to The World by wher3sRai

They were more than just friends-they were my family. Not bound by blood, but by the trials we faced together, through fire and storm. Our bond was forged in adversity, a connection stronger than any betrayal. We fought through heartbreak, loss, and shadows that sought to tear us apart. And even when things went horribly wrong-when the unthinkable became reality-I believed we were still connected, still in this together. Or so I thought...

I'm Still Here (Ally/You) by leluc_

Your heart was empty, it has been for 15 years and you kept coming back to that same old place you were told to stay. You knew that nobody will come but that's the only thing you can hold on to... their promise, a promise that they will come back and get you there. So you waited for someone who will never come. On the same day, 15 years later, a 'supposedly' typical day of waiting for the loved ones in your past, your path crossed with a beautiful Latina sitting on a bench not that far away from where you are. That changed the course of your life.
