This is also what I thought until I found my very self longing for something that seemed like a distant memory.

One-sided love is like the morning dew that sparkles for a brief moment when the first rays of the sun touch it - beautiful, yet fragile, destined to disappear. It fills the heart with warmth, hope, and countless unspoken words, yet it never reaches the soul it yearns for. It is a silent melody that only one heart hears, a story half-written, where longing overflows but fulfillment never arrives. It teaches the sweetness of affection and the ache of distance at the same time, leaving behind a bittersweet glow - like a candle burning for someone who never notices its light.

The Library of Heartbeats (One Shot Stories) by InkAfterSilence

A collection of one shot stories where every heartbeat meant something. Some endings were beautiful. Others, necessary. But all of them mattered.

As MissLovelyTales, I write one-shot stories that dive into the raw, unfiltered emotions we often try to hide - love that never reached the lips, heartbreaks masked with smiles, and the lingering "what ifs" we carry in silence. Each piece I create is a glimpse into the fleeting moments that leave the deepest marks on our hearts. My stories aren't always about happy endings. Sometimes, they're about quiet goodbyes, unsent letters, and the beauty of moving on. I write for the overthinkers, the feelers, the ones who love in silence and heal in secret. Every one-shot is a universe in itself - short, but heavy; simple, but striking. And I hope that through my words, you find parts of yourself... and maybe a little peace too.

We all humans demand love for one simple reason, EXISTANCE. But what happens when the person you love, leaves you mid-crisis with all those half happy memories, cozy romantic moments and mainly with that beating heart filled with love. Whom do you blame.? How do you face the world after them.?

She's always admired him from afar. He's the handsome, popular guy everyone likes... but he only notices her. Their eyes keep meeting, hearts quietly connecting. Until he says, "I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend." Heartbroken, she steps back. Yet, even after graduation, their unspoken bond lingers. Will their hearts find each other again... or remain a memory?

They never got the chance to confess in high school, stayed strangers in college, and met again when they're starting to build their careers. Years later, fate brings them together once more-will this be their final chance to turn their unspoken love into forever? Will he now listen to Her Confession?

She loved him for as long as she could remember. He was her childhood best friend-her first and only love. But to him, she was just a friend. Nothing more. Years passed, and still, her feelings stayed the same... even when he didn't feel the same way. It was a one-sided love she never gave up on. Through high school, through college, she kept hoping. Wishing. Waiting. Until after graduation... something changed. But sometimes, love comes too late. And some stories don't get the happy ending they deserve. "Maybe someday... he would love her too. But maybe someday... is not today."

One-shots... This book contains those thoughts of mine which nag me when I am busy writing a BOOK. I pen those down in one-shot. I hope you'd all like this. Based, completely on my imaginations. If anything relates to anything, a complete coincidence. I might name the characters of these shots to some actors or fictional characters, but the traits moreover everything is MY OWN... DO NOT NEVER EVER STEAL THIS. THANK YOU.
