Limerence.

That bittersweet obsession, that dizzying high that crashes into a heartache when you’re loving someone from so far away. it’s not just “liking” them; it’s this maddening, hypnotic pull. A chemical longing, like the feeling of needing air but finding yourself underwater, breathless. that’s limerence—this intense, almost involuntary fixation where nothing feels like enough. I could drown in every word you send, scroll through every photo you share, play your voice notes on loop, and still, it wouldn’t fill this endless need for more.

Limerence wants you not just in thought but in skin and bone. It’s this fire where texts aren’t warm enough, screens aren’t close enough.

I want you beside me, breathing the same air, where your laughter doesn’t get lost in pixels. I need to feel the weight of you here, the electric calm that happens when souls touch in the same place, the kind of closeness that even words can’t hold.

It’s beautiful and terrifying, this craving, this desire to turn “someday” into now. Because limerence isn’t patient.

It doesn’t care about distance or reason; it just hums through the heart like a song you can’t unhear. Soon, soon, soon.

✨ Sometimes life separates us, not to create distance, but to help us recognize the depth of our connections. 🌌💖 In those moments apart, we realize just how much we cherish each other. So if you're missing someone today, remember: distance can make the heart grow fonder! 💫

Things I Left Unsaid - VI

11. 10. 2024

Yes, i do have feelings for you. But I know my boundaries. So please... Just let me admire you from afar, hug you through my words, flirt with you just so that you wouldn't think that I am avoiding you, or eyeing you wierdly. Just reigniting a part of me that I never thought is capable enough to exist.

So please, let shower you with love, from afar... Till these feelings go away.

Those eyes, that light reflecting through it, so raw when you are listening, your voice that holds patience, your shifty behavior, sincerity to your academics, how your name sounds... Everything, indeed a butterfly... Butterfly never really held that much meaning for me. Until I used it one day to describe you...

I wish I wasn't much of a coward to own up to you... But then again... How much do I even know about love?

You didn’t owe me anything. But you stayed. You listened, you made the pain quieter without asking for anything in return. You were just kind. And somehow, your kindness became the safest place I knew. I didn’t plan to feel this. Didn’t want to complicate something so pure. But healing beside you blurred all my lines. Now I smile at you like nothing’s changed, while my heart folds itself smaller, trying to hide how much it aches just to stay close. You were just kind. And I… I fell for you quietly.

Hello, so I like this boy. This boy is that type of boy to make heads turn in rooms full of people. He’s absolutely beautiful. This is the main reason I told myself never to fall for him. I knew from the start he was to good for me. I knew it would be emotionally to much for me the moment I noticed just how beautiful of a boy he was... sucks being so average and having to limit myself when it comes to liking someone, but back to the story. I knew never to let myself like him because it would only cause heartache. I listened to my head for months. He was just a co worker. Now recently my friend went on vacation and he was there covering for her. He would give me rides and spend time with me. In that second I managed to lose grip of my feelings. I unknowingly allowed myself to imagine that he may actually like me. I fooled myself into think I was just as beautiful as him and everyone in his world. I fell for him blindly, by that I mean, I didn’t fall for his looks or his beauty. No, I fell for the human parts of him. I fell for the small hugs. The gestures and his words of kindness. I fell for how he cared about the smallest things. How he remembered things about me. How he would look at me... from across a room and smile instantly making me smile. He would always find a way to touch me. Now this is a big thing for me since I hate touching people and most definitely boys. I HATE TOUCHING PEOPLE and he somehow made me feel safe enough to let me let him in.... My friend is back and with her came bad news. She found out he never liked me but that he thinks I like him. That I... like him. I look like an idiot. I feel stupid. I knew better. I knew not to fall in to him because the only thing that comes with a beautiful boy are terrible heartbreaks.

The Space Between Us

I think about you more often than I should—

not in the way that pulls me apart,

but in the way that reminds me

I am still whole.

Even though your hands

will never hold mine

and your lips will never speak

the words I ache to hear,

I carry the idea of you

like a quiet hum in the back of my mind.

And maybe that’s what love is sometimes:

not the forever kind,

but the fleeting kind,

the kind that reminds you how alive you are,

even when it’s never meant to stay.

You are the distance I will never close,

but still,

I am grateful

for the reaching.

~ E. V. Carlson

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you. We were supposed to be just friends. But I let my heart slip past the boundaries I promised to stay within. Now here we are — strangers to each other, With memories too heavy to hold but too beautiful to forget. You're the person I never meant to fall for. You're everything I never wanted to lose. I wish I could go back, Back to before I crossed that line — When I could still speak to you without the pain in my chest, When silence between us was comfortable, not heavy. I ruined everything. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you — but I did. And now I carry the weight of what could have been, Of the words left unspoken, Of the moments that slipped through my fingers. I wonder if you ever think about me, If you ever miss me the way I miss you. Maybe in another life, we could have gotten it right. But in this one, All I can do is wish you happiness from afar And hope that somehow, A piece of me still lingers in your heart — The way you will always linger in mine.

Not sure who wrote this, but it felt like a piece of my heart put into words.
