❝it's august, the true ending of a year.
i've grown sick from trying to love who i am.❞

- Carlie Hoffman

DEDICATION

to the ones who fell in love with the glistening moonlit teal lakes because they believed that the  water held more depth than they ever could in their fragmented plastic heart.

SYNOPSIS

how to cleanse yourself of someone who was never really yours ?

EPIGRAPH

i've fallen in love with you in a million different ways, in myriads of shades and tones. with every snowdrop, with every browning golden leaf rustling on the honeyed treetops, with every single pellet of rain, with each heat wave of the searing white sun burning our backs. but not once in a thousand lifetimes of burning away myself for you did you ever fall for me.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

welcome to another random prose book, which is a brainchild of my eternally chaotic mind lmao. i really felt like writing after ages, so apologies if this book is a little rusty or rough around the edges. i've always wanted to write a book inspired by a taylor swift song, and here you have it. this is just my own personal way of interpreting the song, and how my mind just created a completely random story on hearing this song on repeat. i have no idea how this book is going to turn out to be completely honest, cause i really have no idea what i am writing in this half of the time but i hope you enjoy this absolute mess anyway <3!

please note plagiarism is a crime, and if you try to copy my work in any form or way i'll lock you in a room with elon musk and mark zuckerburg.
