Have you ever locked eyes with someone, just for a second, but felt something linger long after the moment passed? Maybe you never spoke. Maybe you never even knew their name. But for some reason, they stayed with you, like an echo of something that almost was.
That's how it was for him. He admired her from afar, never daring to step closer, never knowing she was waiting for him to. Their story was written in glances, in fleeting moments that neither of them ever dared to claim. And then, as time always does, life moved forward. The moments faded. The echoes grew faint.
But what if time gave them another chance?
Years later, they meet again. She remembers him. Every quiet look, every almost, every fleeting second that once felt like a world of its own. But when he meets her gaze, there is no flicker of recognition, no lingering glance. To him, she is just another face in a crowd.
So she wonders. Can you remind someone of a love they never knew they had? Or are some echoes meant to fade, lost to time before they ever become something more?

When The Girl Leaves The Guy (HIS POV Series 1)
1. When The Girl Leaves The Guy Boys usually do the leaving, they say. It was branded on people's minds that in every particular relationship, it'll be the guy who'll be the first one to give up and leave. But that's not what happened on Davon's part, a mysterious academic achiever whose goals are set already. When Esmeralda managed to get inside his heart and leave without proper goodbyes, he lost track of what road he's going to take. It wasn't just her who vanished, his directions in life also disappeared with her, but still... he stayed for her unpromised return, leaving him broken in pieces, with bruises on his heart as his soul shattered a million times. Never in his wildest dreams thought of being this lost. He could've avoided it, but he couldn't dodge the bullet 'cause when you choose something you'd like to have, you'd go for it; you'd risk your chance, and it's not up to you if you're going to get it or not. They say the longer it takes for something to remain untouched, the easier and faster it heals over time. But why can't time heal him? Why does it hit differently in his case? Why does it feel like, until now, instead of forgetting what happened seven years ago, everything feels like yesterday? Everything feels nostalgic that he forgot to forget everything that the girl who left him behind did.Complete

I Like You
Change, Changes, and Changed are similar yet nonetheless distinct words. Words that have the same meaning as resulting, having, or making something different. And in life? That's INEVITABLE. My life suddenly changed when you came into it. You, who make me feel as though I could melt and drown in your blue ocean-like eyes. You, who smile as bright as the sun, make everything feel alright. You, who were always there right by my side whenever I feel down and lost, scared and lonely, excited and happy. You, who unchained my locked heart when I thought it would never be unshackled again. You, who made me realize that life is bearable when you are not alone, that I can get through it, if I surrounded myself with love. You. Yes, You. The person that I liked, and the person that broke my trust and wasted my love. But I still hope that you, who did that, will have peace and happiness in your life. - to whom I liked, from Maica ✖✖✖ Language: TagLish By: TheBestForGoddess Started on: October 26, 2017 Published on: December 04, 2018 Completed on: March 26 , 2025 Status: CompletedComplete
