Unchosen

She liked him.
Quietly... deeply... in the kind of way that never asked to be seen.

But he never saw her.
Not as a crush.
Not as a friend.
Not even as someone worth understanding.

He wasn't cruel.
He wasn't confused.
He just... never chose her.
And still, she stayed.

At first, it was small-just a fleeting feeling.
But with time, it grew into something consuming... something that lived in every glance she stole, every message she waited for, every silence he left behind.

She fell first.
And then she fell harder.
Until loving him became a habit she didn't know how to stop.

Until one day-
she did.
Not all at once.
Not in a dramatic goodbye.
But slowly... piece by piece... she took her heart back.
Or at least, that's what it looked like.

Because now-
she doesn't react.
She doesn't wait.
She doesn't care.
Or maybe... she just pretends she doesn't.

To him, she was just someone annoying.
Someone easy to ignore.
Someone who never mattered.

But fate has a way of returning what was once overlooked.

Because when they meet again-
when her eyes no longer search for him-
He notices.
He pauses.
He wonders.
He feels.

And this time...
he falls.
Harder than she ever did.

Not slowly.
Not carefully.
But in the kind of way
that ruins sleep
and steals breath.

While she-
just watches,
as if she feels nothing at all.
