It started with a message in an online game.
A random stranger. A late-night conversation.
And somehow, he became everything I didn't know I was searching for.

We talked every morning, laughed at the same silly jokes, and dreamed of a bridge that could connect our worlds - mine and his, miles apart.

And just when I thought he felt the same, he disappeared.
No goodbyes. No explanations. Just silence where his name still echoes.

They say first love never really fades.
Maybe they're right.
Because even after the silence, even after the pain,
I still find him in every sunrise,
and in every part of me that dares to believe in love again.

Some people don't stay to love you for a lifetime.
they stay to show you what love could be.

The Afterglow

10 parts Ongoing

"Tell me the truth, John... If I had told you I loved you back then... would you have stayed?" I should've told him. That I loved him. That I stayed up rereading our chats like they were scripture. That I saved his missed calls, even when I swore I was over him. But I didn't. And maybe that's why he left without saying goodbye. We were never in a relationship. But somehow, I remember him more deeply than the ones I was with. I used to think he ruined me - until I realized... he built a version of me I didn't recognize anymore. Now I'm learning how to let go of someone I was never holding in the first place. This is not a love story. This is the afterglow - what remains when love doesn't stay... but never really leaves.
