Unlived Affection
Inspired by 'Unrequited love' by @Yasmine Lagras
I can't imagine us ever being in love. There's no together with you. All the days I spent in your presence, Sitting outside, staring into the dark skies As you spoke of your troubles and the future you envisioned— I felt hollow, a loneliness I couldn't shake.
I can't imagine forever with you. We drifted apart, growing distant each day. I began longing for a world where you didn’t exist. You’ll remain a cherished part of my past, But a memory I’m relieved to leave behind.
I can't imagine perfection, not with you. So I made it real—I walked away. Yes, it hurt. It burned like hell. But was it ever truly love?
Now, as I lay in bed, I no longer need to imagine. I’m finally free, living in a world without you.

The vieled canvas
Here I am, seated before a blank canvas. Anxiety crawls all over me. I close my eyes and inhale as deeply and as long as I can. I see it—the anticipation in their eyes. They are unaware of my lack of intent in making this a lustrous or glossy piece.

I thought of my first love as I read. He wasn't a bad person, just not good for me so I had to cut ties for my peace of mind. Although, I do wonder... what if.
