But loving you had consequences.

“I wasn’t ready, I’m so sorry.” ‌ They had been through so much together – the laughter, the shared dreams, the promises of forever. But now, it seemed like it was all slipping away.

“I don’t think I even deserve any of this.” The love that once felt unbreakable now crumbled under the weight of unmet expectations and misunderstandings.

Each word felt like a breadcrumb, leading them down the trail of a relationship slowly unraveling. The promises they once shared seemed to turn into fragile glass, breaking apart under the weight of dreams left unfulfilled and disappointments left unsaid. In the quiet aftermath of their shattered love, Ash felt a deep emptiness inside. "I miss him; that's the main thing on my mind." The emptiness echoed in her heart's hollow spaces, a gap left by the person who used to be her safe space, her companion in laughter and tears. As Ash went through each day without him, her thoughts turned into a mosaic of memories and "what-ifs." Every moment passing by served as a reminder of the happiness they once shared, now replaced by a painful ache in her heart. "I miss him," she whispered, a plea to turn back time and relive the moments when their love seemed unbreakable, standing strong against the storms that eventually took their toll.

Ash and Joaquin once shared a love story filled with laughter, dreams, and promises whispered like a sweet melody. But, like the seasons that change, so did their relationship. On a fall evening, with leaves drifting to the ground, they stood at a crossroads. The air held the scent of change, and they understood that their paths were taking different turns. With heavy hearts, they chose to go separate ways, embracing the consequences that came with their once-beautiful love. After the breakup, Ash walked through the city streets, her heart filled with the echoes of their shared moments. The sound of their laughter lingered in the park they once frequented, and the city lights reflected the sparkle that once lit up Joaquin's eyes. But with each step, she faced the consequences of their love – empty spaces where he once stood, and the echoes of their conversations haunting the places they once knew together.

Ash never regretted loving him, but loving him felt like a dance in the shadows, a foolish journey with a hefty cost. It led into dim corners, where emotions were cheap and left scars on the heart. Even now, traces of that love lingered, firing occasional shots at her vulnerable soul. The memories held a mix of sweetness and bitterness – times when love was a warm sunbeam, quickly followed by storms of sorrow.

With time, Ash stepped out from that shadows of heartbreak, stronger and wiser. The consequences of their love marked her, but they also paved the way for a new chapter of growth and self-love. The city, with its ever-changing skyline, saw Ash’s transformation – a living proof of the resilience discovered in the aftermath of a love that once was but is no more.

Loving him was dumb, dark, and cheap. Loving him will still take shots at me. From loving him was sunshine, but then it poured and I lost so much more than my senses. - Camilla Cabello, Consequences.
