Tell me about your love story or recent crush Here's mine . . . I liked a boy in my class… someone I hadn’t noticed before. We were in the same friend group, just strangers with mutual friends. One day, while doing assignments, I heard his voice for the first time 🎧. And that voice… "soft, warm, comforting — something about it made my heart flutter. I looked up and saw him properly for the first time. That moment changed everything 🥺❤️. After that, I couldn’t stop noticing him. His smile, his laugh, the way he talked — he was cute, handsome, kind… everything I’d dreamed of ✨. I told my best friends, and they helped us meet more often — though never alone. Still, those little moments with him felt magical. Whenever he looked at me, I’d smile uncontrollably, and every time I tried talking, I’d forget how to speak 😅. He made me nervous in the best way. This went on for months. Just glances, shy smiles, my heart skipping every time he was near. Then, one day, someone suggested Truth or Dare. I had a feeling… and it happened. They asked him if he liked me. He said “No.” That word hit harder than I thought it would. I laughed it off, pretending I was okay. But my heart… it cracked that day 💔. A few days later, I saw a girl’s hair tie on his wrist. My heart sank a little more. Maybe he liked someone else. Maybe he never saw me that way. I never confessed. And we’re still friends. But now, I smile through the ache and slowly teach my heart to let go. But I still love him❤️‍🩹 Sometimes, the ones we fall for are just passing chapters in our story — beautiful, bittersweet, and unforgettable 🌸❤️‍🩹.
