Willow Tree 🌱💀

“did you guys date?” no, but we talked every single day, spent hours getting to know each other, shared things we probably didn’t tell anyone else, flirted like there was something more, and acted jealous whenever someone else came into the picture. we had our own little routine, our own inside jokes, and a connection that felt like it was slowly becoming something real. there were good mornings, late-night conversations, random updates, and moments when it felt like we were more than just two people texting. but somehow, we never gave it a name. we never had the conversation, never made things official, and never figured out what we actually meant to each other. then, just like that, the messages became less frequent, the conversations got shorter, and eventually we drifted apart. no breakup, no explanation, no final goodbye. just two people who once knew so much about each other suddenly becoming strangers again. and the hardest part is trying to grieve something that technically never happened, while knowing that what you felt was real to you.
