We were two strangers who learned to love in the spaces between goodbye and regret,
never realizing that love sometimes means learning to say no to each other...

I
I was a home you never chose to enter,
a story you never wanted to read,
and a truth you were too afraid to face...
Utku Can Güzel
Love taught me to give without expecting,
and pain taught me to survive without forgiving.
I loved you in silence,
but I lived in the noise of your absence...
Utku Can Güzel
Love is not possession;
it’s the willingness to let someone go,
even when your heart breaks with every step they take away.
I held on to you for too long,
not because I wanted to, but because I feared being alone more...
Utku Can Güzel
You called it timing,
but I called it cruelty
to meet someone like you
right when I was starting to believe I deserved peace...
Utku Can Güzel
You
I was never asking you to stay forever—
I was just hoping you’d leave slower,
so my heart could learn how to break in pieces, not all at once...
Utku Can Güzel
I never wanted forever—just one moment where you looked at me like I wasn’t temporary...
