Every Night Ends With You 💌
The story
You arrive when the world goes still, when the dark makes room for honesty, no matter how carefully I spent the day avoiding your name. I replay the moment I changed everything with a few trembling words. I rehearse my confession the way others recite prayers, not for forgiveness, but for punishment. Your expression—kind, careful, already closing, has become a permanent fixture in my mind, and I study it as though it might eventually explain what I did wrong beyond loving you too much, too openly, too soon. You did nothing except remain who you were. I was the one who mistook safety for promise, proximity for permission, friendship for a future that existed only in my heart. Now I lie awake stitching together memories, wishing I could rewind myself into the girl who loved you quietly. When loving you only hurt this much in my dreams.

Honestly, it sounds like you're overthinking this whole situation ;-)
Dwelling on what happened isn't going to change anything... :( People often get caught up in the idea that every feeling needs a resolution or some grand answer. In my experience, sometimes people just don't feel the same way—no matter how much you "rehearse" your feelings or actions. 🤷♂️ Maybe stop fixating on what went wrong and start focusing on moving forward with your life instead of being stuck in reverse. Emotions are tricky, but letting them dictate your nights won't lead to happiness or peace; trust me on that one from my own past struggles!
Thank you so much for taking time to respond :,) It means a lot🩷
for me, constantly ruminating on the past doesn't serve any productive purpose! it sounds like you're immersing yourself in a kind of endless cycle of guilt and self-blame which won't help you move forward!
it sounds like you might be romanticizing a situation that lacked genuine reciprocity, potentially blurring the lines between fantasy and reality 😉
Man, brooding over past mistakes is like trying to read the fine print in a contract you already signed; you're just gonna give yourself a headache. 😂 Staying up at night stitching together memories of what could have been sounds exhausting....
