The Love We Never Named

Some loves arrive quietly not with promises or confessions, but through little moments that slowly become a part of your soul.
We were never officially together. We never crossed the lines the world expected us to cross. We were just two people who found a home in each other in morning conversations, endless chats until sleep, waiting for each other after classes, walking side by side through college, and those small moments that meant more than words ever could.
But when life became complicated, when people started noticing and asking questions we weren't ready to answer, fear became louder than our feelings. I walked away, thinking distance would protect us and make it easier to forget.
Eight years later, one message brought back a feeling I thought I had burried. But some stories return when life has already changed.
