Before We Drifted

Some stories don't begin with fireworks.
Some begin in silence-
a passing glance, a name you almost forgot,
a moment that meant nothing until it meant everything.

This isn't a story about perfection.
It's about people trying. Failing. Waiting.
It's about words that were never said,
and the weight of those that were.

It's about holding on-
even when you don't know what for.

Not all love stories end in love.
