They grew up side by side, barefoot summers, secret glances, love that bloomed before either of them had the words for it.
Through the years, they stayed close. Laughed, grew, held onto each other like a promise.
But time... time has a way of catching up.
And suddenly, every second starts to feel heavier. Every touch lingers a little longer. Every word means a little more.
One night becomes everything, soft hands, whispered truths, and a love too deep to be undone.
She makes sure that in the quiet that follows, he has only her.
Her voice, her warmth, her scent, her love.
And somehow... even after the end, their love stays.
Because some hearts don't know how to stop loving.

The Weight of Wanting: Lost in Between
For a hundred nights, they built a world in whispered words, two souls out of sync, like migratory birds that missed their season. Their conversations were a quiet sea where secrets surfaced and they learned to be more than the lives they lived. One soul was the softest ground for the other's fears, the most beautiful sound that answered theirs, their laughter a sudden light against the darkness of the late-hour night. They wrote their story not in prose but in verse, each poem a day to cradle or to curse. A line for joy, a stanza for the ache, a little piece of them for goodness' sake. They knew the pages had a near ending, but still, they turned them, living out the fear that every shared thought and held-back sigh would turn to memory beneath a different sky. Now the book is closed, the final word unsaid, and the journey's end is left inside the reader's head. The world believes they walk alone, but they still carry what their story weaves, as a hundred poems linger in the air-a silent testament that they were there.Complete

Lucien: the Light That Was Almost Mine
I met him at my darkest. He was light-too bright, too beautiful. As if the world could never quite hold him. He had a mischievous smile, eyes full of stars, and a habit of saying the most ridiculous things right when I needed them. He made fun of me and I rolled my eyes. Somehow, in between the sarcasm and stubbornness, he became the only person I didn't want to lose. He offered me a strange deal. I said yes, mostly out of spite. But then he made me laugh again. He made me feel alive. He made me stay. At that time, I didn't know how much he would change me. Or how hard it would be to let him go. He was light. He was MY LIGHT. Not because he stayed, but because he changed everything before he left... Trigger Warning : Mentions of scumbags hurting children, offing yourself, thinking of offing yourself and getting offed by fate. Please be guided. And just so you know, i have this completed on draft.Complete
When We Almost Made It (Discontinued)
"We almost loved once" I say, tears forming at the memory. "It was walking through the city at night and trying to see the stars." "Seeing each other at school, but pretending we didn't. Sitting by the pier talking about everything and nothing." "Almost love is the worst. It's full of I should haves or I could haves and definitely a bunch of what-ifs." "When it could have worked out if the time were right, but it wasn't and your heart aches thinking it was." "We really did almost make it, and if I could have almost made it with anyone I'm glad it was with..." Sometime the universe gives you your Happily Ever After you just don't see the hour glass that goes along with it. And in the case of Alec and Zaire the sand runs out way before they thought it would.Complete

Ten Winters, One Summer
Ten years ago, a single moment ripped Ray and Cs apart-one kiss, one goodbye, and then silence. Now fate has brought them face to face again, older, heavier with the weight of choices made. The spark is still there, fierce and immediate, but Cs wears a wedding ring, and Ray has spent a decade wondering what it would feel like to take her hand again. Every glance between them feels like a duel-half longing, half accusation. Conversations hover just shy of confession, each one pulling them closer to a line they shouldn't cross. And when the truth starts to slip past their defenses, they're forced to ask themselves: is this a second chance at the love they lost... or the perfect storm that will destroy them both? "You're infuriating," she muttered, brushing past him. "And yet, here you are," he replied, too close, too casually.Complete
