Love That Sacrificed Itself

They met by accident. A random message sent too late at night. A reply that wasn’t

meant to change anything. At first, they were just strangers— sharing music,

bad jokes, sleepless thoughts. He liked how her words felt warm, even on cold nights.

She liked how he always stayed, even when silence filled the chat. Days turned into

habits. Habits turned into comfort. And comfort slowly became love.

But he knew something she didn’t. So he started pulling away. Turning care into

cruelty. Kind words into sharp ones. “Move on,” he told her.

“You deserve better.” And one day… she did. Months later, she smiled again.
