A letter from July 23rd, 2024

Time Travelled — 12 months

Peaceful right?

In the quiet spaces between heartbeats, I found myself captivated by him—my best friend. His smile, a gentle sunrise breaking through my darkest nights; his attitude, a steadfast compass guiding her through the tempest; his comfort, a sanctuary in the storm of my worries. I loved him, deeply and quietly, in a way that seemed to intertwine my soul with his.
But love, I knew, was a fragile whisper in the wind, and I feared the weight of my confession. I trembled at the thought of rejection, of shattering the delicate harmony of our friendship. The laughter of our circle, the ease of our shared moments, the simple joy of his presence—these were treasures I was not willing to risk.
So, I decided. My love would be a silent offering, an unspoken vow. Being his friend, basking in the warmth of his smile, feeling the steadiness of his support—this would be my solace. It was enough to be near him, to cherish our bond as it was, even if it meant my heart would quietly ache.
In the stillness of my unvoiced affection, I found a bittersweet contentment. This love, though unclaimed, was a part of me now, woven into the fabric of my being. And in this, I found peace. As long as we could share our moments, as long as his laughter could still reach my ears, I decided it was enough. It was more than enough.
