In a small town veiled by whispers of lost dreams and unrequited love, there lived a man named Jonah. He was known for his unwavering kindness but harbored a deeply rooted sadness. His days were spent wandering the streets, filled with memories of the times he tried to find joy in fleeting encounters. "If you wanna put this on me, that’s fine," he often murmured to himself, trying to brush off the weight of expectations. He had learned not to blame others for his heartbreak, understanding that life was a series of moments that often slipped through one’s fingers, like sand.

Jonah often found himself at the local café, sipping coffee and observing the world around him. Among the bustle, he would see her—the girl who brushed her hair back, her movements both delicate and captivating. Something about her drew him in, and he longed for the courage to speak to her. He thought to himself, "Things we try to do won't work, so can you help me out?" The fragile hope sparked in his heart, and each day he dreamed of taking her to the 'Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly' show, a concert he loved, where joy seemed limitless.

However, as days turned into months, Jonah wrestled with his feelings. "Say if you love somebody new," he would wonder, imagining her with someone else, living a life filled with laughter and passion. Yet, deep down, he felt something unmistakable—"Because I have fallen for you." This secret affection weighed on him like a hidden treasure, beautiful yet burdensome, and he feared that revealing his heart would only lead to more heartache.

As he navigated his days, Jonah battled the fake heartbreak that seemed to be an echo of a love never fully realized. "Seeing this fake heart break," he would think, "and stomach ache has got me acting like a pregnancy." He was caught in an odd predicament; his heart yearned, yet it felt as if he had never truly fallen. "I never fell for you, you tripped me," he repeated in a mantra, a way to shield himself from vulnerability while trying to comprehend his mixed emotions.

Every evening, Jonah would pass by the café’s window, watching her dreamily, fascinated yet hesitant. He struggled to accept the truth that even in his mind, where fantasies often danced freely, he had never truly dared to fall. “Even in my mind, in my mind, I never fell for you; you tripped me,” he concluded in his solitude, grappling with the reality that sometimes, love exists only in the echoes of our thoughts, never transforming into the warmth of connection.

And so, in that small town where dreams flickered like fireflies, Jonah continued his life, a silent guardian of his unspoken feelings, forever holding onto the hope that one day, he might have the courage to bridge the gap between fantasy and reality, allowing love to take flight.
