Synopsis
Not every love story has two hearts in it. Some are written by one, while the other doesn’t even turn the page. "Half of Us" is a collection of poetry for the ones who loved alone. For those who stayed when they should’ve left. For the ones who gave everything and got silence back. For the hearts that held on, even when they were the only ones holding. These poems are not about perfect love. They’re about the kind that aches quietly, smiles through pain, and writes verses in the dark for someone who’ll never read them. If you've ever been almost chosen, almost loved, almost enough— this book is for you.

Chapter 1 - I Was His...

"I Was His..."

I was his mirror,

showing him the best in himself—

like glass catching sunlight,

but he never looked back.

I was his umbrella,

held him through every storm—

like clouds shielding the rain,

but he left when skies turned warm.

I was his diary,

kept all his truths safe—

like pages full of his voice,

but mine stayed blank.

I was his midnight,

quiet and kind—

like stars watching over sleep,

but he never noticed the shine.

I was his lighthouse,

calling him home each time—

like light over restless waves,

but he sailed past the line.

I was his pause,

the breath between his chaos—

like silence that makes music whole,

but he skipped the calm.

I was his backup plan,

always right behind—

like a bookmark he placed,

but never returned to find.

I was his prayer,

soft, faithful, and true—

like hands folded in hope,

but never answered too.
