Whispers of Something That Never Was
<p>She was in her early twenties ,open to life, to learning, to friendship, to love.</p><p>Every smile, every conversation felt like a doorway to something new.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then came a voice, simple and warm:</p><p>“Hello… I’d like to be your friend.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Her heart hesitated. Why me? Why now?</p><p>But her lips betrayed her doubt:</p><p>“Sure, being your friend wouldn’t be odd.”</p><p><br/></p><p>And so it began ,the messages, the check-ins, the gentle presence that felt steady, safe, almost intentional.</p><p><br/></p><p>But when does friendship cross the line into something more?</p><p>When do little acts of care begin to sound like promises that were never spoken?</p><p><br/></p><p>She asked for clarity once, timidly:</p><p>“What are your intentions?”</p><p>And he smiled with words that sounded like reassurance:</p><p>“I just want to be your friend. That’s all.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Yet the seeds had been sown.</p><p>His consistency watered them.</p><p>Hope grew quietly, almost without her permission.</p><p><br/></p><p>Until the day he said, casually, almost carelessly:</p><p>“Oh, I’m actually in a relationship.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Her heart raced.</p><p>Her face remained calm.</p><p>Her soul whispered: Then why bring me this far?</p><p><br/></p><p>It felt like being led on a journey, only to be abandoned in the middle of nowhere.</p><p><br/></p><p>And so she is left with questions that echo louder than his words:</p><p>Why do people give attention without intention?</p><p>Why do they stay close if they are already claimed?</p><p>And what does friendship mean, if it feels like love wearing a mask?</p>
