the bassline between us

Before the sold-out shows, the screaming crowds, and the life that pulled him away from me, there was just us - late nights, shared headphones, and a future we never said out loud.

When Calum left to chase his dream, I told myself love was patient. That best friends always find their way back.

Years later, he does come back - older, famous, and still looking at me like I'm home. But some things don't stay broken once.

Loving him was never loud.
It was the bassline between us - steady, constant... and the thing that broke us both.
