Timeline of a Broken Heart: How Love Faded One Day at a Time

Day One:

You smiled like the sun had only risen for us.

We danced in rooms too small for our dreams,

whispering forever like we meant it.

Day Twenty-Seven:

Your messages came slower,

your laughter didn’t reach your eyes—

but I called it exhaustion,

not distance.

Day Forty-Four:

We stopped finishing each other’s sentences.

Silences crept in like fog—

soft, unnoticed,

until we were both lost inside it.

Day Sixty-Two:

Your phone lit up with someone else’s name.

I didn’t ask.

You didn’t offer.

Trust slipped through my fingers like water.

Day Ninety-One:

We sat across from each other,

forks scraping plates,

hearts not speaking.

Even the food tasted like goodbyes.

Day One Hundred and Ten:

You kissed me like a stranger.

And I let you—

hoping your lips might remember

the shape of home.

Day One Hundred Fifty:

I wrote you a letter

you never read.

You packed your bags

but left your presence

haunting the corners of our bed.

Love doesn’t always explode.

Sometimes,

it just fades—

quietly,

slowly,

one forgotten day

at a time.

I counted the days

hoping to find the one

where I could say:

This is when we broke.

But it was never a single day.

It was all of them.
