"You don't have to love me forever," he whispered against my skin, his voice breaking in the dark. "Just remember that I loved you."
High school seniors Julian and Maya were supposed to be each other's forever. Sharing late-night car rides under amber streetlights, endless mixtapes, and a bond that felt entirely unbreakable, they built a world of their own in the quiet corners of Ohio. But real life has a way of shifting the ground beneath your feet. With college acceptances pulling them in opposite directions and futures that refuse to align, they are forced to face an agonizing truth: sometimes, the greatest act of love isn't holding on, but letting go.
This is a story about the beauty of first loves, the sharp ache of inevitable goodbyes, and the kind of deep, unconditional devotion that doesn't fade just because the chapter ends.
"Wishing you godspeed, glory..."
No matter where life takes us, I will always love you how I do.
