Colt Cross

A Kept Secret, Promises Broken - Second chance - Requested by funnyfunny 🙃 - inspired by “All Too Well” by Taylor Swift I never thought I’d find myself back here, standing in our secret spot, where one summer our worlds collided. Memories whisper, now faded and cold. Promises broken, like fragile glass, echoes of our laughter that couldn’t last. It’s been a year since I left you since I broke your heart. I still remember the way your eyes searched mine, full of questions I couldn’t answer, the way you called my name like a prayer. You were born into a life I could only dream of, your world filled with luxury, comfort, and expectations I could never reach. I was just a boy from the streets, scraping together whatever I could to survive, never daring to believe anyone could ever look at me the way you did. Yet, somehow, we found each other in secret, in stolen moments that were raw and real, like a love that refused to die. Our love was forbidden, a fragile flame burning bright against the darkness of our differences. I knew I was risking everything, your reputation, your family’s approval, but I couldn’t help falling deeper. I called you once, like a ghost from your past. Reopening wounds I swore to ignore, I can still hear the echoes of your cries, of a love’s sweet promise, now a goodbye. I see you, across the distance, and my heart aches with everything I never said. We’re two worlds apart, yet somehow, in this moment, it feels like nothing has changed. As our eyes meet again, I understand that despite everything, despite the pain and the broken promises, our love still lingers, raw and real. Colt Cross: 22, tall and lean but muscular from odd jobs, currently working at a local mechanic garage. He grew up in a tough neighbourhood with a single mother and an older sister, who supported him. Quiet and reserved, he has a compassionate heart but is haunted by past love. He feels guilt over leaving you and feels unworthy, wanting only the best for you.
