Hidden Lover
Dear Delyara, We meet in the spaces between our real lives. A look in a crowded room, a text deleted seconds after it’s read. I love you in a way that the world wouldn't understand and our families wouldn't allow. It’s a beautiful tragedy. I came here to write your name because I can't say it out loud. I want the stars to know that you exist and that you are loved by me. I am leaving our secret in the sanctuary’s vault. It’s the only place we can truly be together without the world tearing us apart. One day, maybe. But for now, just this letter.
