The Love We Almost Had

Some loves are meant to almost happen.

Sky and Noah grew up together-best friends since childhood, sharing laughter, secrets, and countless small moments that nobody else would understand. They knew each other in ways no one else could, and slowly, without even realizing it, friendship started turning into something more.

But sometimes, timing isn't right. Sometimes, feelings are left unspoken, words are swallowed, and hearts are left wondering what could have been.

In the quiet spaces between them, in the moments they almost touched, almost said it, almost... loved each other, they learned that "almost" can hurt more than anything else.

Because the hardest love is the one that never really begins.
