"Was  that  your  hand,  or  did  I  imagine  it?"

"You  didn’t  pull  away."

"That  wasn’t  just  a  glance."

"You  felt  that  too,  didn’t  you?"

"Your  breath  just  hitched."

“Are  you  alright?”

“You  look  out  of  breath”

“You  were  looking  for  me?”

"I  noticed  the  way  you  said  my  name."

"That’s  the  first  time  you’ve  touched  me  like  that."

"Don’t  pretend  you  didn’t  lean  in."

"You’re  closer  than  you  were  a  minute  ago."

"Say  it’s  not  just  me  feeling  this."

"Your  fingers  just  brushed  mine."

"We’ve  never  stood  this  close  before."

“This  is  new  territory.” 

"I  felt  your  hand  pause  there."

"Your  voice  changes  when  you're  near  me."

"That  smile…  it  wasn’t  friendly."

“Are  we  pretending  that  didn’t  just  happen?”

"That  wasn’t  part  of  the  plan,  was  it?"

"I’m  not  imagining  this  anymore,  am  I?"

"You  touched  my  arm  and  stayed  there."

"When  did  the  way  you  say  my  name  start  sounding  like  that?"

"Your  lips  are  a  lot  closer  than  they  should  be."

"You  didn’t  have  to  whisper  it  like  that."

"That  was  the  first  time  you  hesitated."

"You’re  not  hiding  it  very  well."

"You  looked  at  me  like  you  wanted  to  say  something  else."

"We  crossed  a  line  just  now,  didn’t  we?"

"You  leaned  into  the  silence."

"I  caught  the  way  you  looked  at  my  mouth."

"You  blinked  like  I  surprised  you."

"You  didn't  let  go."

"That  wasn’t  how  friends  touch."

“You  moved  closer,  not  away.”

"We’re  not  just  standing  here,  are  we?"

"You  tilted  your  head  like  you  wanted  more."

"Something  just  changed,  didn’t  it?"

"That  was  the  first  time  you  didn’t  avoid  my  eyes."

"You’re  looking  at  me  like  I’m  already  yours."

"Your  hand  brushed  mine,  and  everything  stopped."

“I  felt  your  hesitation…”

"You’re  not  pretending  anymore."

"That  silence  said  more  than  anything  else  could."

"That  look,  what  does  it  mean?"

"You  almost  kissed  me  just  now."

"Tell  me  that  wasn’t  nothing."

"You  were  going  to  say  something,  weren’t  you?"

if you are sending to a multi-muse, remember to specify the muse that the sentence starters are being sent for .

“ Don’t make me choose between my duty and you. ”

“ Duty demanded I leave you behind. My heart never did. ”

“ Even magic couldn’t erase what I feel for you. ”

“ I didn’t realise how much I missed you until you were standing right in front of me again. ”

“ I don’t care what it costs - just don’t walk away. ”

“ I hate how much I look for you in every competition. ”

“ I hate you… so why does it hurt when you look at someone else like that? ”

“ I hear your name in every whispered rumour and wish it were mine to claim. ”

“ I keep looking for you in places you’ve never been. ”

“ I kept that thing you gave me. I don’t know why. ”

“ I learned how to live without you. That doesn’t mean I wanted to. ”

“ I never deleted your number. ”

“ I never told you… but I think you knew. ”

“ I still have every letter you never meant for anyone to read. ”

“ I still remember how you take your coffee. ”

“ I think I loved you long before I knew what love was. ”

“ I think part of me will always belong to you. ”

“ I tried to forget you. I failed. ”

“ I was right there, and you still let me slip away. ”

“ I wonder if you ever think about what we could’ve been. ”

“ I would bargain with gods again if it meant keeping you. ”

“ I would tear the world apart just to have you back. ”

“ I would’ve stayed. I would’ve stayed for you. ”

“ If I asked you not to leave… would it change anything? ”

“ If I asked you to run away with me, would you? ”

“ If loving you is a mistake, I don’t want to be right. ”

“ If loving you is betrayal, then I’ve already crossed that line. ”

“ If you were anyone else, I wouldn’t hesitate to destroy you. ”

“ In another life - one without titles or expectations - I would have chosen you. ”

“ It hurts - wanting you this much when I know I shouldn’t. ”

“ It’s strange… how everything reminds me of you. ”

“ I’d choose you. Every time. Every version of this life. ”

“ I’m happy for you. I just wish it had been me. ”

“ I’ve memorised every weakness of yours… including the way you hesitate around me. ”

“ Just give me tonight. I won’t ask for anything else. ”

“ Maybe in another life, this would’ve worked. ”

“ Meet me where no one knows our names - just once more. ”

“ No one knows me like you do. That’s what scares me. ”

“ Say the word, and I’ll forget my place. Just this once. ”

“ Say the word, and I’m yours. I always was. ”

“ Sometimes I think I hear your voice in crowded rooms. ”

“ Take me with you. Anywhere - just not away from you. ”

“ Tell me to stay. Please - just this once. ”

“ Tell me why losing to you feels better than winning against anyone else. ”

“ There’s a space beside me that only ever felt like yours. ”

“ This was supposed to be simple - you, my enemy. Not… this. ”

“ We push each other to the edge—and I don’t know how to stop. ”

“ We were almost something. That’s what hurts the most. ”

“ We were never meant to stand on the same side - and yet here I am. ”

“ When did you stop being just my best friend? ”

“ When I reach the top, I want you there beside me. ”

“ Why wasn’t I enough to make you stay? ”

“ Winning doesn’t feel the same if you’re not there to see it. ”

“ You chose a life that didn’t have room for me in it. ”

“ You crossed my mind today. Like you always do. ”

“ You don’t even know what you do to me, do you? ”

“ You don’t get to come back and pretend nothing changed. ”

“ You feel like something I lost a long time ago. ”

“ You were in my dream again last night. ”

“ You were supposed to be my competition, not my weakness. ”

“ You were the one scandal I would have risked everything for. ”

“ You were the only thing tethering me to my humanity. ”

“ Your name almost slipped out - I had to bite my tongue. ”

“ You’re the one thing I can’t seem to let go of. ”

“ You’re the only thing that’s ever felt real to me. ”
