The Bridge We Never Crossed...

If I Had Said I Love You
A story about two boys, a love that never really ended, and all the words left unspoken.

Eli and Shawn were childhood friends who became something more-until fear, silence, and one goodbye shattered everything they had. Years later, a car crash leaves Eli bleeding on the side of a cold road, and with every fading breath, memories of Shawn come flooding back.

The laughter.
The kisses.
The fights.
The moment he let go-when he should've held on.

And the one thing he never said aloud:
"I love you."

Told in fragments of past and present, this is a story about the kind of love that echoes long after it's gone... and the pain of realizing you left your heart behind in someone else's hands.

We wasted years on silence, but the moment I saw him in that hospital bed, I knew-this time, I wasn't leaving anything unsaid.

Because some endings don't come with closure.
Some come with silence.
And some come too late.
