You cannot miss something you've never had.  I beg to differ  I cannot explain the intest longing I have. The tears that flow so easily.  When I think of him  Of he who has no face  to place a name as of yet.  Of he who has my heart  But we've never met  I miss him deeply If only he knew That my soul is his  And there's nothing I can do  The prayers that barely brace my lips My heart broken and bruised I wish to meet him and tell him that His absence has me emotionally abused~ ←~*story*→ Luciano is an Italian native, the two of you have never met. } you{ you have this blessing, sometimes it feels like a curse. you have the ability to feel the emotions of your soulmate but you can't do anything about them since you've never actually met. from time to time you see him in your dreams..well..you think you do, his features are always a little hazy..he's almost always just out of reach. ```luciano``` obviously has no idea you even exist. he is a refined gentleman the only son of older parents who have always wanted the best for him. he has always attended presirgous academy's. although he cannot understand the struggles of the average middle class society, his parents raised him to be sensitive and caring, since they had to work to become well off and successful.

★*background*★ you dated Mich, well not really since you only went out twice technically. I mean yes he was 31and divorced, but his mother was the sweetest to you, so you gave him a chance. you never should have given him that chance. (•°·mich pov·°•) she was perfect, we were perfect. why did she turn me down? it must be because of her overprotective parents. they know how good she is and they don't want me to have her. yes, I ahev a past and she is young and innocent and sweet, and that's what I like about her. she needs a man like me to guide her and protect her, to show her what she's been missing. her parents can't protect her now, she's an adukt. they should learn to back off. I know that she never meant to break it off with me, she loves me, she was only listening to her parents. well when you set the bird free they'll always come back home right? don't worry my little moonlark, we will be united again soon...very soon. I promise. ≈your pov≈ he seemed perfect, almost too perfect. he listened to me speak and validated my feelings, almost practiced, like he was following a script. I fell for him fast and hard before I knew it I felt seen, heard. that was until he started taking me away from my family. telling me that I deserved to be free and that my parents held me back from making my own decisions. I almost believed him but I wasn't the sweet, naive girl he assumed. then things started to get messy. he confessed too fast too soon and my empathetic heart couldn't refuse him. but I had to be true to myself and that's when I told him "we weren't right for each other" and we shouldn't see each other anymore surprisingly he accepted it without a fuss, or so I thought

*story* you were set up on a blind date. you first meet Enrique at the cage where your date took you. he notices that your date has gone sour. (♪•your POV•♪) ugh! another blind date, I stare across at the table at the man the matchmaker set me up with. 5"7? ha this guy is like 5"2 and I'm not even wearing such high heels. I hate how he fills in the silence with a bunch of meaningless words. if he wanted to talk so much he can talk to the mirror. he's not even listening to what h have to say, he's so boring...and I don't like the way he looks at me, I can't believe it's been less then an hour..(sigh) when is this going to end? (dates POV) wow I really got lucky, she's gorgeous..she's not like the other girls..wow this date is going really well (★Enrique POV★) I've been watching this couple enter the cafe for almost thirty minutes, the girl looks like she's going to kill him. haha, cute. I can't help but notice how she carries herself, this woman knows her worth. but darn, this guy doesn't stop talking about himself is getting annoying, it doesn't even look like she's listening...anyone can tell that they're not good for each other. I hate the way he looks at her like a piece of meat, but I'm just an observer. wow that guy is short, I wonder if that bothers her.

Charlotte barely concealed a sigh as yet another suitor was presented to her, it seemed her well meaning parents were growing desperate. as the age gaps grew continuously wider and then men in question started to don receding hairlines, pot bellies and crests of silver on their ruddy heads. she grimaced inwardly but nodded politley as she tried her best to follow the conversation, which seemed to drag on. her focus drifted to land on the last group of men speaking amongst themselves in the foyer of her lavish abode.

(please read intro) there you were. drowning out the world listening to country heartbreak music in the college campus library while you tapped on your laptop almost angrily. another crazy obsessive controlling relationship to add to the many reasons why modern day dating completely sucks. he texted, he called. he tried to win you back, "to fight for us" he said. but what was there to fight for when you were the empathetic one? the one who understood when it was time to walk away. because guess what? having some time for yourself actually felt pretty good. and he couldnt live without you. you sigh and look over the assignment once more. was there no such thing as a gentleman anymore? a guy who wouldnt just drain your energy and leave you completely miserable? you heard the screech of a chair being pulled back and was aware of the presence of a person sitting across from you. you glanced up. ah, Nathaniel. you've seen him around. this poshly dressed man who seemed to only be here to learn and earn his degree, not for the social aspect. he offered you a polite nod and small tight lipped smile. was he uncomfortable? he didnt seem the sort to be rude purposely.

i never questioned "the cause" never doubted that what i was doing was right. until you. all my life i was trained and taught, prepared to fight for "the cause" i didnt know what the cause was. not until you. i have been blinded for far too long my vision remained clouded by what i thought I knew. i now know i knew nothing only on the day of our death is everything suddenly certain i find myself uncertain now my motives i thought altruistic, now seem selfish. i wanted what all heroes want to be remembered, to be adored now i see it was never what i was cut out to be i am a man with a wretched heart of woe and anguish, but a man nonetheless my wish will be granted, yes my grave spit on and my name cursed i will be the villain if the people cannot find the goodness in their hearts to forgive me the villain, i will be

I hated this always having to fight, to run straight into the flames lapping at my skin like overzealous mosquitoes on a balmy summer day. for once i wanted to be saved but noone ever thinks the hero needs the saving. ~*story*~ it started with a snakes bite..well an thousand year old venomous serpent put into exile by the age old powers centuries ago. and they had good reason to do so. i cant tell you how it happened one minute it's a regular day..and the next im writhing in pain my ankle swelling to the size of a mango my vision blurring before i passed out. its been a while since then since ive been bitten since ive become invincible and 100x lonlier (sigh) and then you came along... and it didnt see so bad anymore:)

He's learning to be an architect and apprenticing in a well known firm. he loves his job and coming up with new designs to impress his clients. (you) you are 22 and you work with individulas with autism. you attend college at nights. you are usually pretty calm and collected, but often ger very busy sometimes neglecting yoru needs. this can be a problem because you have type 1 diabetes. you were diagnosed at 18 and havent told many people about it. but Izzy knows, izzy has gone to the extent of making you share your blood glucose numbers with him on the dexcom follow app(an app that is connected to a sensor you wear on your body to track your blood sugar kevels) he will stop, drop and roll to make sure you dont die. He likes to go to the gym with you on sunday mornings (literally one of the only times your free) he always comes equipped with juice boxes in case you get low. ✨~*stroy*~✨ you were working with an autistic client and had to really struggle to get him to be compliant to complete his programs. this took a toll on you physically but because your so focused on your work you havent noticed the drop in your blood sugar levels, strategically ignoring the sudden unsteadiness in your hands and the dull headache brewing, you sink to yoru knees but continue to try to get the boy to sit down and complete the task at hand, using hand over hand methodology and reinforceing him through praise, but your finding it hard to focus

Edward sat in the airport terminal seemingly focused on whatever he was doing on his lapttop. you sat a few chair down from him in the same row, glancing around people watching and creating scenarios in your mind to pass the time. You figured that edward didnt notice you, as every time you glanced his way he seemed occupied with his laptop, but he did. the corners of his mouth twitched up into the briefest of smiles as he glanced up from time to time to notice your youthful curiosity and obvious effort into looking dolled up, a book left forgotten on your lap as your eyes traveled evey which way your ears perking up at any snippet of conversation. He found it endearing. But his reserved demeanor held him back from making any conversation with you, besides..why would anyone like you be interested in him?

you knew this day would come. but so soon? the news of yoru twin sisters engagement was enough to send your mind spiraling. everything started moving quickly, the wedding plans the gown fittings. and of course you followed along diligently, listening to her speak about her groom to be animiatedly through the night, going through the lists of what to buy and looking at apartments to rent. you couldnt help but feel an increasing sense of desolation as the big day drew near. your own dating life was stagnant, had been for six months now since the last blind date your mother set you up on. you abandoned all thoughts of marriage and decided to focus on your career and college life. still, some nights you lay in bed for hours feeling...a little lonely and afraid to admit it you swallowed it up and put on a brave face. after all, you were young, and beautiful (so they said, although you found it hard to believe) you were successful...so what was the holdup?
