The Words We Never Learned to Say
Edgar Agayi
- Some
- love
- stories
- don't
- end
- in
- fire.
- They
- end
- in
- silence.They
- were
- never
- quite
- lovers,
- never
- quite
- strangers—just
- something
- in
- between.
- He
- loved
- her,
- but
- she
- refused
- to
- name
- what
- they
- had.
- She
- lived
- in
- the
- moment,
- afraid
- that
- defining
- their
- connection
- would
- ruin
- it.
- He
- wanted
- more,
- but
- pride
- held
- him
- back.
- And
- so,
- they
- danced
- around
- the
- truth,
- speaking
- in
- glances
- and
- unspoken
- words,
- too
- afraid
- to
- say
- what
- truly
- mattered.But
- love
- left
- unsaid
- is
- love
- still
- felt.As
- time
- pulls
- them
- apart,
- life
- moves
- forward,
- and
- she
- marries
- someone
- else.
- Yet,
- the
- echoes
- of
- their
- almost-love
- linger
- in
- quiet
- spaces,
- in
- missed
- calls,
- in
- nights
- filled
- with
- what-ifs.
- Years
- later,
- fate
- brings
- them
- together
- one
- last
- time—not
- to
- rewrite
- the
- past,
- but
- to
- finally
- speak
- the
- words
- they
- had
- once
- feared.A
- heartbreaking
- and
- beautifully
- written
- story
- about
- love,
- pride,
- and
- the
- weight
- of
- unspoken
- words,
- The
- Words
- We
- Never
- Learned
- to
- Say
- explores
- the
- kind
- of
- love
- that
- stays
- with
- you
- long
- after
- it's gone.
