Chapter 1 – We Were Almost
We didn't break up.
We just slowly became strangers.
It didn't happen in one day.
There was no big fight.
No dramatic goodbye.
Just shorter replies.
Longer silences.
And hearts that were still in love, but too tired to try.
I still remember the first day we met.
You were laughing at something stupid your friend said.
I wasn't even part of the conversation.
But somehow, my heart decided you were important.
We used to talk every night.
About dreams.
About fears.
About a future where we lived in a small house with white curtains and too many plants.
You once told me,
"Promise me we'll never become strangers."
I laughed and said,
"That only happens to people who stop loving each other."
I was wrong.
We didn't stop loving each other.
We just stopped understanding each other.
Ego grew louder.
Apologies became harder.
And "I miss you" turned into "It's fine."
The last message you sent still lives in my phone.
"Take care."
Two words.
No anger.
No love.
Just distance.
I wanted to reply.
I typed so many things.
"Don't go."
"Let's fix this."
"I still love you."
But I erased them all.
Because sometimes,
love is not enough when timing is wrong.
Years later, I still wonder—
If we met again…
would we choose each other?
Or would we just smile politely
like two people who were almost everything
but never quite made it?
