You were never mine, but it still feels like I lost you.
We existed in that quiet space between friendship and something more; too close to ignore, too scared to name. There were glances that lasted too long, conversations that almost turned into confessions, and moments when our hands nearly touched. Maybe that’s why it hurts so much because we never got to call it love, even though it already felt like it.
These are the things I never said to you not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t want to ruin what we almost had.

🌧 Closing Thoughts
There’s a kind of heartbreak that doesn’t come from losing someone — it comes from never getting the chance to love them fully.
You were the quiet ache that lingered between “maybe” and “almost.” And even now, I still think of how easily we could have been something if only one of us had been brave enough to say it.
Maybe someday we’ll meet again and laugh about how close we came.
Or maybe we’ll just smile politely, both pretending we don’t remember the story that never started.
