Unwanted Ending 2

"I love you, Riley…" she said, her tone as delicate and ethereal as the night sky itself.

Her words hung in the air, charged with a sincerity that made my heart skip a beat, despite the heavy confusion coursing through me.

The memory of that confession was vivid and poignant.

I recalled the gentle touch of her lips against mine, a moment of pure connection when we had first acknowledged our feelings for each other.

The kiss we shared was like a blossoming flower in a desolate landscape, a love that felt almost too profound for someone like me.

'I knew I didn't deserve her…'

Yet I ignored the world's warnings and proceeded to pursue an impossible love.

Together, we had navigated the tumultuous hardships of our world, our bond growing stronger even as the world around us began to crumble. No matter how dire the situation, we clung to each other, never letting go.
