It started with a smile that could melt the coldest heart. She walked in like a song I didn’t know I needed to hear. We danced through days like summer never ended, and I swore her eyes were honest enough to build a home in. But love has its shadows, even when the sun shines too bright. I began to notice the silence between her laughter. There were nights she’d pour me a drink, and I’d taste more secrets than Sweetness Her voice still said “I love you,” but her eyes whispered something else entirely. Maybe I ignored the warnings because love blinds the brave, and I thought her touch was my safest place. Until one night, the glass trembled in her hand— and the smile that followed didn’t reach her eyes. ©Gangdor20
