Foreword
His love was akin to that of a summer’s breeze, refreshing yet fleeting.
He was similar to a drop of rain on a desert, miraculous but unsustainable. Ours was a
story lost within the cogwheels of our minds; inactive and unspoken.
Our hearts flutter by the idea of love, tantalized by its effects but not of us together.
(Maybe. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t ready with him, but he wasn’t, so I also wasn’t.)
There might have been an “us” and “together” once upon a time,
but the jump was too vague and hazy at best when time and distance were your worse enemies.
He was that hidden yearning tucked deep beneath my ribs and denied of acknowledgement.
He was that fear of falling hard and fast with no safety net.
Being the only one in love is frightening, too many repercussions awaiting each and every corner.
His love was that of a nostalgic fond memory, only visited during cold, rainy days,
when what-ifs seep into your bones and leave you wondering.
