There comes a time in everyone’s life when brokenness doesn’t scream, it just quietly sits inside.

Not asking for attention.

Not demanding to be fixed.

Just... existing.

I’ve felt that silence.

Maybe you have too.

Some wounds aren’t visible.

They don’t bleed, but they burn every time you smile for the world while crying for yourself.

They don’t shout, but they whisper in your ears —

“You’re not enough.”

“You’re alone.”

“You’re unlovable.”

But let me tell you something powerful:

Healing begins the moment you stop chasing others to fill your emptiness.

Hold my hand and see,

If I don’t turn your life into heaven,

Then say so.

Walk beside me and see,

If I don’t make your roads more beautiful,

Then say so.

Look into my eyes,

If you don’t find yourself reflected there,

Then say so.

Let me share your sorrows,

If you don’t find a little peace in my presence,

Then say so.

Listen to my words,

If you don’t lose yourself in them,

Then say so.

Laugh with me,

If you don’t fall a little madly in love,

Then say so.

Promise me you’ll stay by my side for a lifetime,

And I’ll give you every piece of my heart—

If I don’t,

Then say so.

A girl meets a boy online.

It wasn’t anything dramatic at first. No promises, no big words, no plans for the future. Just two people talking, slowly getting comfortable with each other.

She never asked much about his past. She never cared about his background or what he had. She liked talking to him. She liked the person he was with her.

She didn’t even know him in the way people usually know someone they love. She had never met him. She only knew his name, his voice, his way of talking, and that smile in his profile picture that had somehow become familiar to her.

And somewhere along the way, she fell for him.

Not because of how he looked.

Not because of his status.

Not because he promised her anything.

She just loved the person she thought he was.

Maybe that was her mistake. Or maybe it wasn’t.

Because one day, he blocked her.

Ten days later, he unblocked her.

She thought maybe he would explain. Maybe he would ask how she was. Maybe there would finally be some kind of conversation.

Instead, he simply said,

“You don’t deserve me.”

She didn’t know what hurt more — the words or how easily he said them.

She cried that night. Not only because she had lost him, but because she was beginning to realize that the future she had imagined with him had existed mostly in her own heart.

Two years have passed since then.

There were no proper goodbyes. No real closure. No final conversation that made everything make sense.

And somehow, a small part of her still loves him.

Not because she thinks he was perfect.

Not because she believes she needs him.

Maybe she still carries that love because, even if the relationship wasn’t real in the way she hoped it would be, what she felt was real to her.

She loved him sincerely.

And sometimes, that's the hardest part about letting someone go — accepting that your feelings can be real even when the person you felt them for was never meant to stay

​

I don't love you with expectations,

I love you with calm

Like the sky loves the moon-not asking it to stay,

just happy it exists

You came into my life quietly, and without trying,

you changed the way my heart feels things

Your smile feels like safety, your voice like familiarity

I don't need promises from you,

nor forever written in words

If you stay-thank you

If you go-you'll still remain as a beautiful chapter I'll never regret reading

Some people are not meant to be held, they are meant to be felt

And you... you are one of those feelings that stays gentle, even in silence

Sometimes, letting go teaches us so much. It is beautiful, yet it hurts. A thousand thoughts run through the mind, while a smile stays on the face. It's a mixture of emotions.

Remember, we never stay stuck on the same chapter forever, but sometimes we get stuck on the meaning of a single word. So don't stay on the same line every time. Let it go, and enjoy the journey. Face every phase with a beautiful smile
