A Silent Love 💕 ♾️
The girl, a year her junior, moved with a quiet grace, a subtle melody in the bustling hallways. Her laughter, when it rippled out, felt like sunlight breaking through clouds, and the way her brow furrowed in concentration during lectures held an unexpected allure. For her, it was an instant, undeniable pull - a gravitational force she hadn't known existed.😳😳 Every shared glance, every accidental brush in the corridor, sent a jolt of electricity through her. She found herself noticing the smallest details This wasn't a boisterous, declared affection. It was a quiet, internal blossoming, a secret garden she tended in the hidden corners of her heart ❤️❤️ . But the reality of their different years, the unacknowledged distance, hung heavy in the air. Was this a cruel game, a simple act of youthful teasing?🤔🤔 Or was there a flicker of something else beneath the surface, a playful acknowledgment that hinted at a deeper awareness? Her one-sided love had gained an unexpected participant, one who held the power to both exhilarate and torment her with a single glance, a carefully chosen word.😘🥰 The silent symphony in her heart now had an echoing counterpoint, a teasing melody that kept her perpetually off-balance,🙈🙈 forever wondering about the true intentions behind that knowing, captivating smile.😳😳
Black Heart (GirlxGirl, lesbian)
Have you ever felt so broken that you couldn't pull yourself out of bed and continue to live your life like you used to. A simple task such as tying your shoes already seems like a huge burden on your account. Struggling with yourself because everything around you doesn't matter anymore. That's mainly because she broke my heart. Who knew love could turn a person around. Who knew love would hurt this bad. Who knew love can make you feel numb. A simple word yet it has an enormous impact in everyone's life. Everything happens for a reason, and I'm not blaming it all on her, though there are things you just wish you could take back and redo because of the feeling it gave you. And because of those traumatic event, I turned into a complete opposite of me. Well, that's until I met...her. You'd think that I've learned my lesson but she's different. I'm that cold-hearted until she drop down here on earth and save my miserable, sorry ass. A girl who doesn't know how to give up. A girl who's filled with happiness in a way that if you stare at her, there's this feeling you can't explain and it just lightens your mood. A girl who's friends with everyone because of her pure and innocent soul. A girl that can certainly light up a god d*mn world with her personality. ... And a girl who made me feel again. A girl who made me fall in love again. A girl who made me forget all the things that I've been through because she made my present more than just worth living, and my future to be worth looking forward to. And she made me fall in love with her harder than anyone did. Harder than anybody could. And I wouldn't mind to fall over and over again if at the end of the line, she's there to catch me.Complete
