Chapter 3: Learning to Let Go

The days after their "break" felt like walking through an empty house, where every corner echoed memories of what once was. Meera tried to keep herself busy—work, friends, even picking up old hobbies. But no matter what she did, Rohan lingered in her thoughts.

She kept rereading old messages, replaying voice notes, wondering if there had been a moment she could have changed—something she could have done to hold on to him.

But love was never about holding on too tight. It was about choosing each other, over and over again. And Rohan had stopped choosing her.

The Silence That Hurt More Than Words

At first, she thought he might call. Maybe he just needed time.

Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months.

The messages stopped. The video calls disappeared. Rohan was no longer part of her everyday life, and yet, his absence was everywhere.

One evening, as she scrolled through social media, she saw a photo of him. Smiling. Happy. A girl—perhaps the same one from the party—stood beside him.

Her heart clenched.

That’s when it hit her.

While she was stuck in the past, Rohan had moved on.

Breaking Free

Meera deleted his number that night. Not because she hated him, but because she knew she needed to stop waiting.

She poured herself into work, into finding joy in small things—watching the sunset, reading new books, traveling to places she had always wanted to visit.

It wasn’t easy. Healing never is.

Some nights, she still missed him. Some mornings, she woke up expecting a "good morning" text that never came.

But day by day, the ache in her chest grew lighter.

She wasn’t forgetting him. She was just remembering herself.

A Message from the Past

Almost a year later, on a quiet afternoon, Meera’s phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number.

"Hey… how have you been?"

She didn’t need to check who it was.

Rohan.

Her fingers hovered over the screen.

There was a time she would have dropped everything for this moment. A time she would have replied in an instant, hoping for a second chance.

But today?

She smiled sadly, put her phone down, and walked away.

Because sometimes, love isn’t about waiting.

Sometimes, it’s about knowing when to let go.

Pls ignore

( "Only You")

Verse 1

Every whisper in the night,

Every glance, it feels so right.

The way you touch, the way you smile,

I’d follow you for miles and miles.

In your eyes, I find my way,

You make the darkness turn to day.

Every moment, every dream,

You’re the center of everything.

Pre-Chorus

You’re the melody, I’m the song,

With you, I know where I belong.

No need for words, we both just know,

This love is all we need to show.

Chorus

Only you can make me feel this way,

Only you can chase the clouds away.

In your arms, I find my home,

No more wondering, I’m not alone.

Only you, and that’s enough,

You’re the one that I’m dreaming of.

Only you, forever true,

I’ll always choose, only you.

Verse 2

Through the storms, through the rain,

You’re the sunshine, you ease the pain.

Every touch, every kiss,

I’m lost in this endless bliss.

When the world is turning gray,

You color it in your own way.

Every laugh, every sigh,

With you, I’ll never wonder why.

Pre-Chorus

You’re the melody, I’m the song,

With you, I know where I belong.

No need for words, we both just know,

This love is all we need to show.

Chorus

Only you can make me feel this way,

Only you can chase the clouds away.

In your arms, I find my home,

No more wondering, I’m not alone.

Only you, and that’s enough,

You’re the one that I’m dreaming of.

Only you, forever true,

I’ll always choose, only you.

Bridge

Every heartbeat, every glance,

It’s all because of this romance.

With you, the world is bright and new,

I’ll spend forever loving you.

Chorus (repeat)

Only you can make me feel this way,

Only you can chase the clouds away.

In your arms, I find my home,

No more wondering, I’m not alone.

Only you, and that’s enough,

You’re the one that I’m dreaming of.

Only you, forever true,

I’ll always choose, only you.

Outro

Only you, forever true,

I’ll always choose, you.
