I watched him fall in love-with someone who wasn't me. I watched as he smiled at her the way I had once dreamed he'd smile at me. I watched him plan adventures, book spontaneous trips, chase sunsets, and build memories... all in the places I used to dream we'd go together. I watched his life unfold like a storybook, each chapter written without me in it.And through it all, I stayed by his side. His best friend. His secret keeper. His safe place.Because that's what I am to him-nothing more, nothing less. The quiet, shy girl he met three years ago who never dared to speak her truth. The one who listens, supports, laughs at his jokes, and silently drowns in a love she can never admit.He doesn't know.He can't know.Because he's human.And I'm not.He is my fated mate. My destined other half. The one soul written into mine since the beginning of time. But fate can be cruel, especially when it dares to pair two people from different worlds-one who walks in the light of humanity, and one who hides in the shadows of something more. Something forbidden.If he knew what I was, if he knew what he meant to me... it would destroy the fragile peace I've built around his life. Around our life. So I stay silent. I keep the truth buried beneath a thousand smiles and unshed tears.Because sometimes, the greatest act of love is letting go.Even when it tears you apart.Even when it shatters your soul.Even when it kills you inside.A story of forbidden love, unspoken truths, and the unbearable beauty of what it means to love someone who can never be yours.
