It's peaceful, isn't it? When you remove your glasses, it feels like everything turns blurry. You stare at strangers-having fun, arguing, or falling in love. They wear their emotions openly, but deep inside, everyone is someone longing to be seen.
It has become a daily routine to observe strangers and how the world quiets in moments like these. Blurry faces, faint voices, and a steady heartbeat that only I can hear.
But tonight, it's not only my heartbeat I hear. It's the echo of things unsaid between someone I used to know and the silence we chose to keep-promises that made my heart offbeat.

Always You , Every Season
"I don't know why I'm feeling so off today," I said, my head bowed, guilt creeping into my voice. "Just... bear with me for a little while." He stepped closer, his touch soft as he lifted my chin, his eyes locking with mine. "If you'd let me," he said gently, his voice like a promise, "I'd be happy to stand by you-not just today, but every single day, for all the years to come." ♡♡♡♡♡♡ "I don't know if I've ever told you this before... But your messages , they're the only ones that never go unnoticed. Every other notification comes and goes, but yours? Yours demand to be felt, not just seen. When your name appears on my screen, everything else fades for a moment- it's just us, just your words, as if the world itself pauses, waiting for me to read them. Each text from you feels like a whisper, a piece of you finding its way to me. And no matter what, no matter where-I'll always be here, waiting to read every word you send." ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Between Glances
She sees him every day, and each time, her heart races a little faster, hoping for something more than the casual, fleeting glances they exchange. He's charming, quiet, and always so close-within arm's reach, yet always just out of her grasp. Their interactions are brief, often accompanied by a charged silence that neither dares to break. There's an unspoken tension between them, a magnetic pull that neither seems able to resist, but something always keeps them from stepping past that delicate line between familiarity and desire. Whether it's the weight of their unacknowledged feelings or the fear of disrupting the fragile balance they've created, they remain suspended in a world of what-ifs. As their glances linger longer and the silence stretches between them, the question remains: will they find the courage to close the distance, or will they continue dancing around their feelings, too afraid to leap into the unknown?Complete
The Last Whisper
I wear a mask so well that even I almost believe it. Almost. Then I met him. His eyes were hollow, his smile a lie-just like mine. In him, I saw my own reflection, the same quiet suffering hidden beneath perfect façades. For the first time, I wasn't alone. But happiness is always fleeting. One moment, he was there. The next, he was gone. A fall from a rooftop. A life stolen too soon. Now, the world feels unreal. Shadows shift. Whispers grow louder. And in the corner of my vision, I still see him. If he's gone... why does it feel like he never left?
That Night
It was a one-night-stand gone wrong. A heat-of-the-moment, unintended slip-up that was all my fault. I swore that I wouldn't do it - even punched my best friend in the face to prove it. But I ruined everything: our friendship, her innocence, my life. It was supposed to get her out of my system, but now I want her more than ever.Complete
Better Said
No doubt, eyes never fail to deliver the messages of the heart, but sometimes opening up gradually on every wonderful occasion can be more vivid. Bright and I always had something between us that I never talked about until I went to university this semester. This time, the unspoken between us was no longer unspoken. It was all 'said' gradually. Thanks to my friends who pushed me out of my comfort zone and, of course, Bright played a vital role. Amidst silence, I asked him to speak, and from that moment, he never stopped. He didn't stop until I said, 'Yeah, me too!'Complete
