This book is about her.
The way she loves - deeply, fearfully, and without holding back. The way she softens and strengthens all at once. Between Breath and Bloom is a poetic tribute to the woman who feels everything, who stays open even when it hurts, and who dares to bloom in a world that often asks her to close.
These pages speak to her resilience, her tenderness, her quiet bravery. They hold space for her to be seen, not just in the light, but in all the beautiful in-betweens - the breath before the bloom, the silence before the truth, the pause before choosing love again.
This is not just a book of poetry. It is a mirror for her heart, a sanctuary for her softness, and a reminder that she is worthy of a love as true and wild as her spirit.

It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

This isn't just a story of heartbreak - it's a story of change. Of learning how to love gently. Of realizing that sometimes, love doesn't end; it just grows differently. Tragic, soft, and painfully real - The Quiet Between Us is about two people who loved each other deeply, but forgot how to stay without breaking apart.Complete

Between Hope and Reality
In spring it blossoms, but in winter it really thrives, as cold as the mountain top, and as beautiful from the view at the top. It was as green as grass. But bluer than skies. When the leaves were carried by the wind, when flowers bloom slowly again, when rain made a soft but true melody, or when snow was full of memories. Is when the lotus appears, born from dirt and mud, but somehow springs up to grow as a beautiful flower. Loved by all, but themselve. The lotus can smile, but are they really happy? The lotus can cry, but are they really sad? The lotus can feel nothing, but aren't they just feeling too much? Between Hope and Reality is an ongoing journey through thoughts, emotions, and quiet truths. Blending reflection with personal honesty, each chapter explores themes of loneliness, hope, healing, and what it means to simply be human. This is not a finished story-new chapters will continue to unfold, piece by piece, as life does. It's for anyone who's ever felt out of place, dreamed of something more, or fought to keep going when it would've been easier to stop. Each entry is written with care, from the heart. Thank you for walking this path with me-one chapter at a time. (First published on Wattpad by Distinct-unique_bird. If you're reading this anywhere else, it was taken without my permission.)

Blue Between The Lines
In a world stitched together by half-said sentences and glances that linger too long, Blue Between the Lines explores a story that unfolds in the spaces where words falter and silence speaks. She was the quiet one-thoughtful, observant, always watching from the edge of every room. He was the effortless center, all laughter and ease, the kind of presence that filled the space without trying. What began as a gentle friendship soon deepened into something neither of them had the courage-or clarity-to name. Late-night calls, inside jokes, brushes of fingers that lasted a moment too long. Their connection grew in the unsaid, in the pauses, in the quiet comfort of knowing someone was always just a message away. But with love that never asked to be defined came heartbreak that never knew when to begin. As life pulled them in different directions, as texts slowed and calls ended before they should have, she held on to the moments-the laughter, the long drives, the unspoken promises. While he drifted between affection and absence, she stayed, hoping love would anchor them both. But love, she learns, doesn't always need closure to be real. Blue Between the Lines is not a tale of grand gestures or perfect endings. It's about the ache of almost, the beauty of presence without permanence. A story of what lingers after the goodbye, and the kind of love that leaves a mark, even when it leaves.Complete

Wounded Heart β
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. π Start Date: 28th October 2019 β³ End Date: 23rd October 2020 βοΈ Edited Date: 2026Complete
