Rewind: The Love I Left Behind Novels & Stories

The wounds of the past slowly began to heal, replaced by a tender flame of renewed affection. In that fragile moment, as they danced delicately between forgiveness and rediscovery, Lisa dared to believe that perhaps, just perhaps, their love could transcend the pain of the past. And together, they embarked on a journey to nurture their connection, guided by the promises they had made and the unspoken understanding that their bond was worth fighting for.

He winked, causing me to roll my eyes. “In your dreams.” I walked ahead of him and resisted turning back when I heard him chuckle. It was dark and sexy but I loved it. *** I stayed silent in the car as Alejandro drove, I have been mostly quiet thinking about my life and what I’m going to do now. The only man I am in love with bailed out when we were young, left me wanting and searching for him. I grew up and then fell in love again but that same man plunged his hand into my chest, ripped it out, and crushed it with a merciless look on his face.

Leaving someone when you love someone is the hardest thing to do When you love someone as much as I love you Oh, I don't wanna leave you Baby, it tears me up inside But I'll never be the one you're needing I love you goodbye Baby, it's never gonna work out I love you goodbye I couldn't stop my tears from falling from the song played by Love Radio - I Love You, Goodbye by Nina -

He caught her wrist gently, pressing her knuckles against his chest, his touch trembling yet firm. For once, the arrogance in his gaze faltered, replaced by something raw, something broken. His voice cracked as he spoke, each word heavy with regret. “I love you. I always have. It’s been you — only you — I should have realised sooner...... all these years...... how much I have loved and missed you..... I’m sorry… for everything that happened back then. I should have asked, should have listened, should have believed you. Instead, I ruined it. Again. For the umpteenth time. You can punish me, torture me, hate me for the rest of our lives… but please, come back to me. I need you, baby. I need yo

he whispered "I love you." I took a deep breath, trying to steady my voice "Love isn’t enough, Neil. Not after what what happened. I'm tired of the back and forth. You need to leave" With that, I closed the door. I leaned against it, taking in a deep breath. I closed my eyes, trying to calm my breathing. I could hear him outside. He swore repeatedly at himself. He sounded like he was mad at himself but I couldn’t bring myself to open it again. I needed space, needed time to heal. I had been through so much in such little time. My heart couldn't take anymore heartbreak. I've had enough.

I began, only for her to hush me. "Promise me we'll leave this behind, never to revisit. You asked, I answered. But dwelling on it serves no purpose. I want to bury it and move forward. Please, Rebecca. Promise." I could only nod, our embrace tightening. "I love you," I whispered. "Love you too, babe. We got this together."

"He's like a beautiful wish come true. I don't even know what blinded me all these years to the fact that no one could ever love me the way he does. I'm just glad I realized it now." I stood, brushing off my hands. "I want to give him all the love he deserves without my past dragging me back. I hope you understand and respect my decision, Darsh." For a moment, he remained silent, then caught my hand as I turned to leave. His grip was firm but not forceful. "I'll go if that's what you want," he said, his voice low. "But know this—I'm just trying to reciprocate the love you gave me."

"After you promise me that you will come back" "I will. I promise" even if it's beyond the grave "I love you" "I love you too" my steps falter, and I'm torn between going out there and staying with her. She loves me. Spinning around, I go back and kiss her. Pouring everything I can't say into the kiss. It's short but I'll remember it for eternity. Then I leave. Punching the same button to close the door. ******************************************

At the wedding reception, every place card at the last table bore an online username instead of a real name. I turned to my husband and quietly asked who these people were. Before he could answer, a young woman at the table blinked at me and said playfully, "Hey, we're not strangers. I've been hiking with Zane for three years. Every time we go out, we sleep in the same tent." The others at the table burst out laughing. "Say it. Does Zane snore in his sleep?" I stood there frozen, wineglass in hand, utterly humiliated. To my surprise, Zane laughed along with them. "They're all my friends. I bought you tickets to Caldera Bay for our honeymoon, but I'm not going. I finally have some time

"I just wanted you to know: I was a coward. I don't know what happened. My mother was sick. I had a commitment to her before you that I had to keep despite the love I had for you." "I'm sorry, what a shame. Do you think I'll believe that?" She replied without any pity. Hayami signaled to the waiter, who approached and ordered a tequila. Ivan only looked at her after a few seconds. The waiter returned with her order. Hayami looked at her watch, held the tequila with her fingers, and brought it to her lips. "You have one minute left." After finishing this, she drank the tequila. "I have no excuses. All I can say is that I never forgot you. I've always thought about you, and I know that because
