In the quaint little town where I reside, nestled amidst the charm of simplicity, an unexpected love story began to unfold. It was a tale that had captivated my heart, despite the bittersweet reality of its impossibility.
Within this tale, there was a man. A man who seemed to defy the conventional boundaries of age and status. He was older than me, a biker with an air of adventure surrounding him. Fate had whimsically placed his hotel right in front of my house, an unintentional proximity that both thrilled and tormented me.
From the very first glimpse, my heart skipped a beat each time our paths crossed. I never dared to venture beyond mere stolen glances, as if the intensity of my gaze could convey the depth of my emotions. He remained oblivious to the turbulence brewing within me, for we had never exchanged a word.

My rational mind reminded me that he already had a girlfriend, rendering any hope of a connection between us pointless. And yet, the heart yearns not for logic but for the magic of love.
With an endless abyss separating us, I resolved to forget him, to release him from my thoughts like a bird set free from its confining cage. But such resolutions were easier spoken than done. His image lingered, deeply etched within my mind.

From my secluded vantage point, I witnessed him at the hotel balcony, engrossed in laughter and conversation with the manager girl. My heart crushed, and tears streamed down my face.
Reality crashed upon me like a wave against the shore. The realization that he could never be mine, that our paths were destined to forever remain divergent, suffocated me. And yet, in the deepest part of my heart, the flickering flame of hope refused to be extinguished.
Days turned into weeks, and I vowed to myself to never approach him, not in words or actions. Forever would he remain oblivious, unaware of the emotions that stirred within me. For how could I bear the embarrassment of unrequited affection, the pain of rejection?
