A simple ‘Hi’ from me. A gentle ‘Hi’ from her. Nothing extraordinary, yet everything quietly began.
We didn’t speak regularly, but whenever we saw each other online, we connected. Those small conversations mattered more than they seemed. Slowly, familiarity grew, and comfort followed. In those shared moments, we made a quiet promise to stay united, to respect each other, and to remain good friends.
August passed like a soft breeze. No labels. No expectations. Just comfort. Conversations grew longer. Smiles arrived faster. Friends. Just friends and that felt perfect then.
Somewhere between the late night replies and the echoes of shared laughter, the line blurred. Friends became close friends. It wasn't something we spoke about, it was something we simply understood.
Not spoken. But understood.
Two birthdays, two reasons to smile. We celebrated not just the day we were born, but the person we had become to each other. Those days felt warmer, closer, and more significant than they should have.
Friendship deepened into trust. Trust turned into care. And for me…
it quietly turned into love.
In the silence of night, when honesty feels heavier, I finally spoke what my heart had been carrying.
I proposed.
She didn’t say no. She didn’t say yes.
She said she needed time. December 26, 2025 04:03 AM
And so the counting began....
We step into a new year. The pages are open. The ink is ready. Some stories don’t rush. They breathe. They wait. They hope.
Let’s see what’s ahead.
