Nothing hurts more than seeing someone who was once excited to fall in love. slowly step back from everything. A person who used to dream loudly now stays quiet. A heart that was ready to give everything now hesitates before taking even one small step. It's painful to watch someone turn distant not because they don't feel, but because they've felt too much. They learned the hard way that love isn't always gentle. and sometimes protecting your heart means walking away from what you once wanted the most. And the saddest part is. you can still see the love in their eyes, but you can also see the fear right beside it. Sometimes, the bravest people are the ones who don't give up on love they just learn to love themselves first. And that. changes everything.
