BEFORE BREAK UPS

LOVERS TIME

It began with the wave of my hand

And he returned by waving back

It began when he smile at me

And I smile back

When we stared at each other

Like no one was around

When we took the first step to talk to each other

And how we had a lot in common when we spoke to each other

Our first date which was a little bit awkward because

In our own way trying to thing perfect for our first date

Our realization and laughter at our action

When we found out how we acted

While trying to make the date perfect.

The time we spent together relaxed,

In each other’s arms.

The hugs, kisses, and comfort.

The time we fought and made-up.

The time our love burned bright.

The time before we fell apart.

Title: "Whispers of Reflection: Our Time Before Breaking Up"

Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Verona, lived a couple named Sophia and Michael. Their relationship had once been filled with laughter, shared dreams, and unbreakable bonds. However, over time, the weight of unspoken words and unresolved conflicts started to erode their connection. Sensing the impending doom, they decided to embark on a journey of "our time" before making any hasty decisions.

Sophia and Michael retreated to a quaint countryside cottage nestled amidst rolling hills and blooming flowers. Surrounded by the serenity of nature, they knew it was the perfect setting for reflection and understanding. Their days were dedicated to open communication, genuine listening, and seeking common ground.

Underneath the shade of an ancient oak tree, Sophia and Michael sat, sharing their thoughts and fears. They vowed to be honest, even if it meant exposing vulnerabilities that had long been buried beneath the surface. Each word spoken carried the weight of their history and the hope of a potential future.

In those precious moments, they discovered the power of empathy and understanding. Sophia realized that Michael's silence was not a dismissal of her feelings but a struggle to express his own. Michael, in turn, understood the depth of Sophia's emotional needs, recognizing that he had unintentionally neglected them. Together, they began to piece together the fragments of their shared story.

During their "our time," Sophia and Michael also embarked on a journey of self-discovery. They explored their individual passions, indulging in activities that brought them joy and a sense of purpose. Sophia rediscovered her love for painting, capturing the vibrant colors of the countryside on canvas. Michael spent his days tinkering with old musical instruments, finding solace in melodies that spoke to his soul.

In moments of solitude, they reflected on their roles within the relationship. They acknowledged their own shortcomings, patterns, and unresolved issues. Through introspection, they identified areas of personal growth and envisioned a future where they could become better versions of themselves, regardless of the outcome.

Recognizing the importance of guidance, Sophia and Michael sought the counsel of a wise therapist named Dr. Reynolds. With compassion and wisdom, Dr. Reynolds guided them through the labyrinth of emotions, helping them navigate the complexities of their relationship. Under the therapist's gentle guidance, they discovered alternative perspectives, new tools for effective communication, and the strength to face their fears head-on.

Throughout "our time," Sophia and Michael cherished the bond they had built. They reminisced about the shared laughter, adventures, and the love that had once flourished between them. While they knew their journey together might be coming to an end, they made a pact to honor their time together with grace, respect, and kindness.

As the days turned into weeks, Sophia and Michael reached a crossroad. The whispered conversations beneath the oak tree had led them to a deeper understanding of their desires and aspirations. With heavy hearts but newfound clarity, they decided to part ways, their love transforming into a different kind of connection—one rooted in mutual respect and gratitude.

Their time together had become an invaluable chapter in their lives, filled with growth, healing, and introspection. Sophia and Michael bid farewell, knowing that the lessons they had learned during "our time" would guide them towards brighter futures.

And so, the whispers of reflection carried Sophia and Michael's stories beyond the rolling hills of Verona, inspiring others to cherish the importance of "our time" before breaking up—a period of introspection, communication, and honoring the shared journey.
