We were kids who didn’t know what love was.
Just two souls who felt too much—too soon, too quietly.
We laughed in the same sun, ran in the same rain, and carried each other’s secrets like fragile things.
We didn’t say it, not out loud.
We thought we had time.
But time doesn’t wait for almosts.
Separated by circumstances too big for our small hands to hold, we grew into people who remembered more than they admitted.
You forgot me—or at least you pretended to.
And I?
I never stopped looking for pieces of you in everyone else.
This is the story of every unsaid word, every paused step, every look that lingered too long.
Of the friendship that bloomed into something bigger—only to be buried beneath years and silence.
It’s the story of how we almost became something.
And how, maybe, almost was never the end.
