So Close But So Far

This is not a love story with a happy ending.
It's a story about staying.

Staying on calls that lasted too long.
Staying quiet when jealousy showed up.
Staying when you knew you were slowly becoming invisible.

It's about meeting someone at the wrong time, in the wrong way, from the wrong distance - and still making them your entire emotional world.

He never confessed properly.
He never asked for more.
He watched from the side while pretending he was fine.
While pretending he didn't mind being "just a friend."

This story is told through thoughts he never sent, conversations that ended too early, and feelings that were always one-sided.

There's no villain here.
No betrayal.
Just two people wanting different things - and one person loving harder than he should have.

This is about silence.
About the weight of not being chosen.
About loving someone so deeply that even letting go feels impossible.

Nothing changes overnight.
Nothing gets fixed quickly.

This is the beginning -
before healing,
before answers,
before becoming someone else.

He doesn't know yet how this will end.
All he knows is that loving her hurts...
and not loving her feels worse.
