🫧She fell first he fell harder🫧

The weight of Liam's unspoken confession hung heavy in the air, a silent echo of a love that could have been. He watched Elara walk away, her laughter a melody that cut through him like a sharp blade. He knew he had to move on, to find a way to heal his heart, but the ache of what could have been was a constant reminder of the love he had lost.

He returned to his old life, his days filled with the familiar rhythm of work and routine, but Elara's presence lingered, a ghost in his memories. He found himself drawn to the park, the scent of rain-soaked earth and freshly cut grass a bittersweet reminder of their shared past. He would sit under the bare branches of the oak tree, the wind whispering through its skeletal frame, a mournful symphony of what could have been.
