A Love Story without a Chat history

There was a boy who has been deeply in love with a girl since childhood.

She loved him too, but never expressed her feelings.

Years passed. The girl got married to someone else and began living a happy married life.

The boy, however, carried that love silently, smiling outside, breaking inside.

One day, he came across another girl on social media. 

Someone he never spoke to, neither on a call nor in a chat. just in comment section. 

He started feeling for her, that's not because of her beauty, that's because of Something about her felt familiar like her smile, the way she spoke and carried herself reminded him of the one he once loved. 

For the first time in years, the boy smiled again.

Once or twice, even the girl flirted with him and teasingly called him “bro.” But deep down, he smiled. 

But fate repeated itself. He found that she is already in a relationship with someone else. 

This time, though, he was different. He had grown, matured enough. Now, He knows what love truly means. 

True love is not about possession, it is about sacrifice, just like the love of Radha and Krishna.

So instead of holding on, he chose to let go.

He felt no bitterness, only peace.

Now, he prays for her happiness and wishes her a beautiful life ahead.

He doesn’t chase her, because the one he truly loves already lives within him, beating in his chest as his heartbeat, forever a part of him.

And now, he is happy.

He is changing himself, not living just for himself anymore, but for others.

Seeing people smile makes him smile too.

The restlessness that once lived in his heart, the pain that silently suffocated him from within, is no longer there.

Perhaps God brought that girl into his life for a reason, so he could learn how to smile again, how to live freely, how to breathe without pain.

The change he feels within himself brings an indescribable sense of peace.

Yes, she loves someone else.

And yet, he is happy.

He loved sincerely, and now he finally understands the true meaning of love.

And he is grateful to her and he wants to thank her from the bottom of his heart, because of his lost smile returned.

This time

“He didn’t lose her, He found himself”
