Melanii :
Oh, take me back to August 2025...
Back to the month that changed something inside me forever.
It all started with a glance. Just a simple eye contact that somehow became impossible to break. I never imagined that a stranger dressed in black, walking by the sea, would become someone I'd think about every single day.
August 8th... I still remember every detail as if it happened yesterday. The way you smiled, the way you looked at me, the confidence in your voice when you held out your hand and said, "What's your name?" I remember pretending to be stronger than I really was, saying "no" when I wanted to say "yes," trying so hard not to let you know how nervous you made me feel.
Then came our first hug.
Some people say a hug is just a hug. Ours wasn't. It felt like time stopped for a moment. And when you kissed me, something in my heart quietly changed forever. I had never experienced anything like that before.
Every conversation, every late-night message, every stolen minute together became a memory I'll always carry with me. We barely slept because talking to each other felt more important than closing our eyes.
You made me laugh. You made me feel safe. You gave me butterflies I never knew could exist.
And then... reality arrived.
Walking away from you wasn't the easy choice. It was the hardest decision I've ever made. Not because my feelings disappeared, but because they were real. I couldn't ignore my age, my values, my family, or your future. Loving someone sometimes also means protecting them from a life that would be unfair to both of you.
I don't know what God has planned for us. Maybe our story was only meant to last one summer. Maybe it was meant to teach me what genuine feelings look like. Or maybe this isn't the end at all.
All I know is that meeting you changed me.
No matter where life takes us, a part of my heart will always stay somewhere between the sea, those endless eye contacts, our first hug, and that unforgettable August.
So if one day someone asks me which month I wish I could live again...
My answer will always be the same.
August 2025.
With you….
