HALFWAY

ECHOES OF UNSAID WORDS SERIES

1ST BOOK: HALFWAY

"Who was that?"

I paused a little. Contemplating what to answer.

I regret so many things in life.

I'm the type of person who makes decisions based on what's best for everyone. I don't even consider my own happiness. I am a people pleaser.

One of my regrets was never recognizing my feelings towards him. He gave me his best. His everything. His time. He gave me space.

And all I did back then was hurt him.

"Was that your ex?"

An ex...?

We were never even in a relationship. I can't call him my ex-lover. He was never an ex. We had no label.

What did we have before?

We only had feelings for each other. The only difference was that he was very vocal with his, while I was keeping it all to myself.

And I regret keeping it all in.

He was the best maybe I had. The best halfway in my life.

Even though we ended like that, I still treasure what we had. Some believe that soulmates last forever when you're together til the end.

But, in my case, I believe that some soulmates still last forever even when your story ends halfway.

He'll be forever my best halfway.
