Between Us

It started with a hike, just another trail, just another day.
But somewhere between the silence of the trees and the sound of laughter, they found each other.

They were never together, but never just friends either.

In between late-night calls, quiet hangouts and unspoken feelings, they built something that had no name... yet meant everything. He came and went like a habit she couldn't break and she stayed, not because she had to, but because she cared.

Until one day, she chose something different.
Not him. Not the confusion.

But peace.

And maybe that's what "between us" was all along something real, just not meant to stay. 🌿
