I don’t believe our story was meant to last forever,
Not every meeting is written as destiny.
Some people cross our lives like brief seasons —
Beautiful, meaningful, yet temporary.
Still, if your name appeared on my screen tonight,
If the universe carried you back to me even by chance,
I would pause my life for a moment
Just to listen to what you needed to say.
If your voice carried even the smallest crack,
If I sensed the weight you were trying to hide,
The past would suddenly feel irrelevant.
Old wounds, old misunderstandings —
They would fade into silence.
If you said you needed me,
I would forget every goodbye we ever spoke.
I would set aside my pride, my hesitation, my fear,
Because some connections never truly disappear.
If your words trembled,
If your silence felt heavier than usual,
I would already be on my way to you —
Not to relive what was lost,
But to remind you that you are not alone.
If your text sounded serious,
If your voice held even a hint of fear,
I would call you back without thinking twice.
Not to reopen the past,
But to hear what your heart could not say.
If you sounded small, quiet, painful, scared, or stressed,
I would become your safest space.
A place where you could breathe, rest, and confess
Every burden you have been carrying alone.
If life betrayed your expectations again,
If your overthinking consumed your peace,
I would run beside you through the chaos —
Not to control it, but to share its weight.
If you needed patience, time, safety, and trust,
I would offer them freely, without condition.
If you felt insecure or broken,
I would remind you of every beautiful thing about you —
Even the things you fail to see in yourself.
If you couldn’t speak at all,
I would sit with you in silence,
Letting the quiet become a language of comfort
Until your soul felt safe enough to breathe again.
I would hold you gently —
Not to fix your pain,
But to protect what was still fragile inside you.
And when you felt ready,
I would help you remember all the times
You gathered your strength, fell apart, and rose again.
Because even if we were never right for each other,
Even if we never become “us” again,
Even if we remain only names in each other’s phones,
You will always matter to me.
Love doesn’t disappear when chapters end.
Some people stay in our hearts
Long after they leave our lives.
And if one day you believe nobody cares,
If loneliness tells you it is too late,
Remember this —
Somebody still does.
If you ever call, text, or reach out,
I will not hesitate.
No matter how much time has passed,
No matter how far life has taken us —
I am still here.
