Some love stories end with a goodbye, while others never get the chance to truly begin. This book is a collection of poems about the 'what-ifs' and 'maybes'-the moments that almost became something more but slipped away. It's about the lingering questions, the unspoken words, and the memories that refuse to fade.

Through each poem, I explore the ache of holding on, the struggle of letting go, and the bittersweet journey of healing. This is for those who have ever wondered what could have been, for those who have loved and lost, and for those learning to move forward-one poem at a time. Because even unfinished stories deserve to be told."All Rights Reserved

Until Our Bodies Remember by AvaElorie

They thought they were done with each other. Years passed, lives changed-yet when they meet again, it feels like nothing ever did. The heart remembers. The glance betrays. The body refuses to forget. Now, face to face with the feelings they once ran from, they must ask: Was it ever truly love-or just a fleeting spark of youth? Memories can build a future... or tear them apart once more. A story of love's memory-and the spark that never dies.

In Between Us by chubbymeggy

We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.

Still waiting by BeneathSilkenStars

In a school where secrets bloom faster than trust, three lives collide like fate's favourite disaster. Liora never meant to catch anyone's attention yet two boys, worlds apart, can't seem to stop orbiting her. Leo, the golden smile with shadows he never shows. and the quiet stranger whose presence shifts the whole room... even when he says nothing. Their rivalry crackles through hallways, greenhouses, whisper a tension sharp enough to cut the air. And caught between them is the girl who didn't ask to be the centre of anything yet somehow becomes the heartbeat neither of them can let go of. Friendship twists. Loyalties shift. Sparks turn into something dangerous. In a place where everyone watches, and no one forgets, love isn't soft it's the kind of beautiful chaos that leaves you breathless. Three hearts. One truth. And a story that waits... for the moment everything changes.

Where the Silence Ends by Ailennir

A short story about unfinished wounds, quiet love, and the healing that comes when two hearts finally let go. To the ones who stayed. To the ones who let go. To the ones who finally chose peace over possibility. This is for you.

Unconditional Love: From Unfinished to Forever by WoundedButterfly

She was his past. His "what-if." His unfinished chapter. He left without a word. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence-cold, heavy, louder than any heartbreak could ever be. The truth came later, sharp and merciless: he had already found someone else. A new girl. A new life. And she-still trapped in the ruins of their love-was left with only questions that had no answers. She never hated him. Not truly. She hated the pain. The emptiness. The nights spent whispering his name into the darkness, hoping it would reach him somehow. She hated how her heart refused to let go, how her love-quiet, loyal, undying-remained, even when he was gone. Years passed. And then he returned. Mature. Changed. Sincere. The boy who had broken her had become a man carrying the weight of his mistakes after he knows the truth about her. Once, they had been reckless hearts, loving without knowing forever. Now, the same love returned-stronger, deeper, and more dangerous than ever. He was her peace in chaos, her truth in silence, the only man she had ever truly loved. And yet, she knew the truth: loving him again could destroy everything. It could break her all over again, or break the life he had now built. And still, the pull between them was irresistible, a force she could not deny. Her heart whispered the choice she would make, even as her mind screamed its warning. Some love-unfinished, eternal, impossible-refuses to be left behind. And she would follow it, knowing the regret that would haunt her for the rest of her life. When hearts-once they have found their other half-will chase it even into heartbreak. Even into ruin. True love is unstoppable and unconditional No matter where life leads, no matter the distance, when one heart trembles, the other reaches without hesitation- to embrace, to soothe, to whisper, "I AM ALWAYS HERE.""

What If I Was Nothing by FearghalLorcan

They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.
