I hate what we’ve become
There was a time when we felt unstoppable, when every moment with you was like a burst of light.
We didn’t need the world when we had each other; just being together made everything feel right.
Time slipped by like a warm breeze whenever you were around, and I would catch myself smiling at the thought of you.
You made my world brighter than the stars, and back then, I never thought that light would fade.
But here we are now, on opposite sides of something I don’t even recognise.

Maybe it was the day we started exchanging fewer glances across the room, or when our laughter grew softer, less frequent.
Or maybe it was when we stopped looking forward to the small moments — those random “I love you’s” or…
