somewhere between likes, comments, and DMs

He gave her honesty.
He gave her loyalty.
He gave her reassurance when her insecurities got loud.

But somewhere between likes, comments, and DMs…
his voice started feeling smaller than strangers on a screen.

He wasn’t perfect.
But he was present.
Right there beside her every night.

And the hardest part wasn’t betrayal.
It was realizing she trusted opinions from people who didn’t know her…
more than the man who chose her every day.

Sometimes love doesn’t end with a scandal.
Sometimes it fades in silence…
while one person scrolls
and the other slowly checks out.
