Forgive Me for Being Drunk

Summary

Everyone talks about heartbreak. Nobody talks about what comes before it. The slow, terrifying moment when love stops feeling like a choice and starts feeling like oxygen. For as long as she can remember, loneliness has been her safest companion. Then she meets him—a person so gentle, so patient, so undeniably real that he becomes the one place she feels understood. The one place she feels at home. At first, it feels like happiness. Then it becomes something else. A text from him can make her entire day. A missed call can ruin it. His voice becomes the cure to every bad night. His presence becomes the answer to every fear. And without realizing it, she begins to lose herself inside the very thing she treasures most. The cruelest part? He never hurts her. He never lies. Never leaves. Never stops loving her. Yet the more he loves her, the more terrified she becomes of losing him. Because how do you hold onto something so precious when you're convinced the world takes away everything you love? So she does the one thing she swore she'd never do. She starts pulling away. Not because she loves him less. But because she loves him too much. As loneliness devours the happiness they once shared, she finds herself trapped between two impossible choices: stay and drown in her dependence, or leave and break both their hearts. Raw, devastating, and painfully honest, *Forgive Me for Being Drunk* is a story about love that arrives before healing, hearts that don't know how to be held, and the tragedy of hurting the person you love while desperately trying not to lose them. Because sometimes the deepest scars aren't left by people who stop loving us. They're left by people who never knew how.
