Even If You Turned To Ash

✯ ━━━━━━ ✿ ✫ ✿ ━━━━━━ ✯

A quiet, melancholic town. A love that was never meant to be.

Nathan has always been there-watching, waiting, loving Eleanor in silence. But her heart belongs to Lucian, the boy who never had to try, the boy who could never love her the way she loved him.

Through lingering glances, unspoken words, and poetry left unread, Nathan exists only in the spaces between Eleanor's happiness. As the seasons change, so does the weight of his longing, unraveling into something deeper, something irreversible.

But love is cruel. Love is a fire that consumes, leaving only smoke and embers in its wake. And in the end-

Even if you turned into ashes,
I would have loved you still.
But ashes do not love back.

And still, the ashes remain.
