    Elena begins to hear a melody she thought she had buried forever - a song her mother used to hum before she died. But this time, it doesn't fade. When a mysterious classmate offers her a way to return to the past - not as a memory, but as something real - Elena steps into a world where dreams can perfectly recreate what was lost. In this world, she can see her mother again. She can feel her warmth. She can stay. But every dream has an exit. And the deeper she sinks, the harder it becomes to leave. Because some dreams aren't meant to be escaped. And some realities aren't meant to be faced.

    A series of poems written in the calm of silence, with a bleeding heart and a lost soul. This anthropology entails everything I feel and often long to let out but often find hard to say. It is written in the shadows of solitude and in the embrace of darkness. Started: For as long as I could remember. Finished: Don't think it ever could.

    Nobody warns you that the person who changes your life will show up uninvited, at 11 at night, and have the audacity to be completely impossible to ignore. Avy is the kind of person who prefers the company of silence over people. One late night she slips into a familiar café, orders a flat white, and loses herself in a world only she can see. No interruptions. No expectations. Just her and the quiet. Then a stranger sits across from her. No warning, no invitation, and absolutely no shame about it. He is loud in all the ways she is not, and somehow still impossible to look away from. She did not plan for this. She did not plan for him. But maybe that is exactly the point.

    This piece drifts through betrayal, silence, and the slow birth of vengeance, exploring what happens when hurt is left to rot beneath the surface. It captures the fragile transformation from wounded soul to quiet destroyer-where pain no longer asks to be healed, only remembered. Within these words lives the aftermath of broken trust, the hunger for power, and the loneliness that follows revenge once the fire finally settles. Beneath the darkness, the reader may discover not only anger... but the emptiness left behind after becoming the very thing they feared.

And at its heart, it asks: what happens when someone who has spent his whole life fixing broken things... meets someone who was never broken to begin with, but still chooses to stay?

    "Just... breathe," I whispered to myself. "It'd be alright, eventually." But the haunting truth was that it wasn't and would probably never be. With fingers grazing, lips almost touching, and eyes which twinkled with delight; my life had become a nightmare... a dream to which I could not awaken from.

Haoran - one of her most devoted followers - has been chosen to observe Roberto's evolution from the shadows, a silent witness whose role will grow far beyond what anyone expects.

    I spotted her sitting on the edge of the rooftop railing, her pencil scratching away at her sketchbook. I couldn't resist. I sauntered over, a plan forming in my mind. As I approached, she looked up, her eyes narrowing slightly as she sensed my presence. I flashed her a lazy grin, and her gaze dropped back to her paper, but I could see the tension in her shoulders. I snatched her sketchbook from her hands, holding it out of her reach. "Hey, what's the masterpiece?" I teased, flipping through the pages with a chuckle. She glared at me, her eyes flashing with annoyance, but I could see the spark of amusement dancing in their depths. I loved that about her - she couldn't hide her emotions, not even when she was trying to. "Give it back," she demanded, her voice husky and adorable. I held the book closer to my chest, enjoying the game we were playing. I loved teasing her, loved watching her try to get under my skin. And I had to admit, I was a little obsessed with getting her attention. ________________________________________ Set in the 90's, this story follows a close group of friends through school days filled with laughter, games, cassette tapes, and holidays. At its heart is a quiet love that begins in friendship, grows with time, breaks with distance, and waits through adulthood. A journey of love, loss, and memories that never fade. Some friendships grow into love. Some love never lets go.

    Two hearts met but love arrived a moment too late. In a mist-filled valley where memories cling to the wind, a man stands alone holding a sketch of the woman he once loved... and lost. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not a love story. It's the story of a promise left behind. Of a bond that survived even after words stopped, of two souls separated not by distance... but by fate. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Tragic Tale of Unfulfilled Love explores the silence between feelings, the beauty of waiting, and the pain of never being seen. Some love stories don't end - they simply remain unfinished.
