#scrollingandthinking
Sometimes I wonder — if I had met you in a different time, would I still be pretending to be this calm? Because the truth is — I think too much, and every thought somehow ends with you. You became the space between my peace and my purpose. Even when I stay silent, the silence spells your name. And yet, I never told you everything — not because I didn’t want to, but because I wanted my feelings to have dignity. You see, I’m not the kind of man who shows his pain loudly. I’ve seen storms and I’ve learned to walk through them quietly. But when it comes to you — I lose that calm I built for years. You make me question the logic I live by. How can one person be both peace and chaos at once? Every scroll, every song, every place — you appear like a memory that refuses to fade. Not haunting, but soft — like a scar that still glows in the dark. Maybe I wanted to tell you this: I don’t need you to understand my silence, I just wish you’d feel it once — how much I fight my heart to act like I’m fine. I’m not waiting for a reply, not asking for a promise — I just wanted to let you know, that somewhere between all my goals, you became the reason I still pause. If someday you ever wonder who thought of you without reason — remember, it was me. The one who tried to make sense of love by turning it into patience. Because sometimes, loving someone doesn’t mean holding them — it means holding yourself, when all you want is them. I feel like we could have created a spark that could ignite the world… but it seems like fear is holding you back. I just want you to know, I believe in what we could be." I still remember the smile when I came home after talking to youfor the first' time . I used to enjoy being my own But that's how I realized you were different Because for the first time I craved someone presense more than my own ...

Between Peace and Chaos
Sometimes I wonder — if I had met you in a different time, would I still be pretending to be this calm? Because the truth is — I think too much, and every thought somehow ends with you.
