Faded relationship

Created By PhonkFM I still remember the first time I saw you—two quiet kids sitting on opposite ends of the same playground. Strangers, yet somehow part of each other’s background story before we even knew it. We didn’t talk much back then, but I always noticed you. The way you laughed with your friends, how you’d sit in silence sometimes, like the world was just a bit too loud for you. We grew up slowly, together. From awkward hellos to sharing secrets under fading summer skies. Somewhere between those years, something in me shifted. I started to look forward to seeing you, listening to your thoughts, catching those small, beautiful things you said without realizing how much they meant to me. I developed a crush on you so quietly, I think I even hid it from myself for a while. But to me, you were… untouchable. Like you belonged in a different world, one I could only visit. You never knew. And I never told you. I watched you from across rooms, wondering if you even saw me the way I saw you. But you always treated me like a friend—safe, constant, and kind. Maybe that’s why I stayed silent. You seemed convinced I was out of your league, when all I ever wanted was to be close to you. But then… things changed. Life pulled us in different directions. Another guy came along—someone louder, bolder, and harder to ignore. I didn’t plan for it. I didn’t even really feel anything for him at first, but he filled the silence you left behind. Maybe I thought you’d notice. Maybe I thought it’d bring you closer. But instead, it pushed you away. And just like that, the space between us grew too wide to cross. We stopped talking. I told myself it was just how things go. But the truth is—I still wonder if you ever think about me. The way I still think about you.
