n the beginning, it all felt so effortless, like we were simply meant to be. His smile, that infectious grin that made the world feel lighter, could melt any wall I built around myself. The way he looked at me, like I was the only person in the room, the only one who mattered. No matter how much Niall and Allison teased us, there was never any doubt, he was my everything, and I was his. Every touch, every word, every moment with him felt like a promise of forever. And for a time, I believed it. I truly did.
Now, I wish I could go back. Back to when it felt like the universe was on our side, and nothing could tear us apart. Would it feel the same, knowing what I know now? Knowing how fragile everything truly is? Would I hold him tighter, love him harder? Or would I spare him the pain that looms ahead?
I can't stop what's coming. But even knowing that, even with the inevitable heartache, one thing is clear: I will love him. I will love him with everything I have, for as long as I have. And maybe that's enough. Maybe that's all I can give him in the end.
