What they had was just a flicker-and yet it burned.
It left a wound that callused, but never healed clean.
It still throbs-at dusk, when the wind shifts, when shadows gather like memories that never learned to leave.
In the quiet aisles of a 1942 library, fourteen-year-olds Lena and Carl Michael found each other-not through declarations, but through the shared language of books, glances, and silence. Their love was tender, unspoken, and lit by poetry, the scent of old parchment, and the soft rhythm of companionship. But just as it began to bloom, war and circumstance tore them apart.
Years passed. Lives were lived. New commitments, new families, the slow erosion of youth. And yet, something endured. Across oceans and decades, fate pulled them into a haunting pattern of near-encounters: a glimpse through a fogged train window, unopened letters returned by strangers, a quiet café missed by minutes. Again and again, they almost found each other. And almost is never enough.

Lost in the hallways
~A high school love story~💗 We sat just a few rows apart. Never close enough to speak... but always close enough to feel something. ANAYA wasn't the loud type. She didn't chase attention or talk about her feelings - but every single day, her eyes searched for him the moment she walked into class. Even when she told herself not to, they just did. And AARAV? He was the quiet mystery - the boy who never said much, but whose eyes always seemed to find hers in a crowded room. The boy who made silence feel loud. They never had a deep conversation. No flirty texts. No confessions. But there was always something - in the way he looked at her from across the room, in the way her heart reacted to it, in the way they both pretended not to care when their worlds clearly paused around each other. No one knew what Anaya felt. She never said a word. Because when feelings are real, they're scary. And what she felt for him? It was soft, quiet, and completely hers. Maybe he felt it too. Maybe he noticed her smile at the little things. Maybe he waited for her glances just like she waited for his. This isn't a story full of grand gestures. It's a story about slow love - the kind that lives between stolen glances, shared silence, and hearts too shy to speak. Because sometimes... the deepest love stories are the ones that never get told out loud ✌️#1 in love letters - June 9 2025Complete
Unwritten Pages
I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Complete
Extra Credit
"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science.

And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you."

The Year I Loved You
"She was only sixteen-too young to understand timing, too young to know what love could cost. He was twenty-three, with a life already waiting for him. They met too soon, loved too early, and fate was never on their side.

Midnight Rewinds
I never believed in perfect starts. I wasn't the guy who lit up a room or made girls turn their heads. But then she walked in-first day of senior year-and everything changed. Her name was Lena. Beautiful, sharp, untouchable. The kind of girl you admire from a distance and never think will notice you. And for a while, she didn't. But then something shifted. I asked for her Instagram. I started texting her. Late-night chats turned into inside jokes, nervous flirting, and long walks under empty skies. Slowly, she let me in. Slowly, I fell-harder than I ever thought possible. She started to love me too... or so I thought. But love is never a straight line. Not when her past is made of broken promises and bruised trust. Not when she starts pulling away just as I'm holding on tighter. I loved her harder the more she faded-and then, one day, she was gone. No explanations. No warning. Just silence. A year passed. Then, one night-midnight phone call, trembling voice, the same girl who broke me once asking if I still remember how it felt to love her. This is the story of how we began. Of how we ended. Of how sometimes, the people who break you are the only ones who know how to put you back together. And maybe-just maybe-some love stories aren't about forever. They're about surviving the parts that almost destroy you.Complete![FOCUS [BXB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/403189039-256-k154097.jpg)
FOCUS [BXB]
Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25Complete
