Meet You Halfway

I don't know what to do anymore. We're simply not the same people we used to be. It's like we're two ships passing in the night, never quite aligning. I once thought you were my everything. But now, you're just a distant flicker in the darkness.

I never imagined it would come to this. We were supposed to be the perfect couple. I tried so hard to make things work. I tried to be understanding, to compromise, to meet you halfway. But in the end, it wasn't enough. My words fell on deaf ears. You're so stubborn, so set in your ways. And I'm starting to wonder if you even care about me at all.

I watched the streaks down the windowpane. I envisioned our senior year as a serene summer day filled with laughter, shared dreams, and the promise of a bright future. But now, it felt more like a raging hurricane, threatening to tear everything apart. Your refusal to attend the party had ignited a firestorm of resentment and frustration.

I wanna be able to make my own decisions, to live my own life. And I want you to be there for me, no matter what.

But I don't think you can do that. You're too afraid of change to take that leap. You're clinging to the safety of the familiar, while I'm yearning for the adventure of the unknown. I felt trapped, suffocated by your control.

I love you, I really do. But I can't keep sacrificing my happiness for you. I deserve to be seen, to be heard, to be loved for who I am. And if you can't give me that, then it's time for us to let go.

Forever and Ever

"Isn't this place magical?"   "It's because you're here," he replied.   ── ⊹ ࣪ ˖♡˖ ࣪ ⊹ ──   Ten years. Can you believe it? Ten summers, ten autumns, ten winters, and ten springs spent tangled in the warmth of your laugh and the electricity of your touch. It feels like yesterday we were teenagers. Sprawled under fairy lights that defied the calendar. Whispering promises under the watchful eye of a lopsided clock tower. No headline screams the secrets that we've bred. But in my soul, a star burns ever bright. Your gaze softens tonight, darling, lingering on the scattering of cinnamon dust across my nose. It’s a dizzying feeling. Something I don’t quite understand but desperately want to hold onto. Much like the scene straight out of a storybook. And here I am, living it with the boy who made my heart skip a beat every time he looks my way. All the nervousness I usually carry around just dissolves. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve known you forever, or if thi...

You can try all you want to dim my light, but you can't extinguish it. ***       Look, I get it. You're the big man on campus. But here's the thing: my life isn't some high school football game you can win by throwing shade. You want to call me a freak for walking in a parade? Newsflash: I was celebrating who I am. Something you wouldn't understand if it tackled you at practice.   Sure, your messages sting. Especially at 7 am. But you know what stings more? Hiding. Hiding who I am, who I like, because some jock with a fragile ego might not approve. Well, guess what? I'm done hiding.   This week at the dance is for me! It's not about proving anything to you. It's about celebrating myself with my friends who actually see me. They don't judge, they don't mock, they just get it. You can stand there in your little corner, fuming all you want. But I'll be out there, dancing like nobody's watching. Because guess what? Nobody is. Except maybe him...

Long Lonely Nights

The wind howled like a wounded beast. We sat in silence on that old, creaky bench. For a moment, it was just us and the fading light. The only sound was the rhythmic ticking of the clock, marking the passage of time. The somber palette of gold and crimson painted the endless sky. Your eyes held a melancholic depth.    My gaze drifted towards the celestial expanse. "Do you think the stars feel lonely up there?" My voice was barely audible.   You squeezed my hand as you vowed to make our forever last. But even in your comforting touch, I sensed the underlying fear.   "Soon, we'll be separated."   Oh, darling, I wish I could freeze this moment, preserve it in a jar. No worries, no goodbyes, just us and the quiet. But I know that's impossible. Life marches on, relentlessly and indifferent to our desires. Like petals succumbing to the relentless autumn wind, it was destined to scatter and fade.   This creeping sense of unease settled over me. A sigh escaped my l...
