Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n9UqJT6Zn
I stared at the questions.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeISTMJsp2
Tried to answer one.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXYmeY9lj
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPc73waVTU
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4jLmtWGIR
This is life, isn't it? Doing what needs to be done, not because you want to—but because you have no other door left to knock on.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAEXiCJwqe
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu1KMXuUhq
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w6SJYvcuW
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9Gt9QIS0
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut87mXsO9b
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSKOhrZ62A
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrLZJCdGYu
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIGp9miVH7
A slow, raw note from a guitar—floating through the cold night air like a secret.
I froze.
Oh God... he's here.
I threw the blanket off and rushed to my window, pushing it open with slightly trembling fingers.
There it was—his window.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALSWoIxqNI
Open.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtIfVpHzzi
A small light glowing faintly from inside.
And books—books lined on the wall behind him like silent witnesses.
He wasn't fully visible, but I could hear him.
The boy next door.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85MvuepA3I
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZKKZFort
This time, slower... and then his voice followed—rough, soft, broken in the most beautiful way.
[The Song – his song ..
I wrote all night, a story untold,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLGXeAqV6d
Every name was there, but yours never bold...99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW3SpdxCZ6
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FDqbEwI0z
Till I learned... you were never real. Just a shape I let break.
His voice wasn't perfect.
But it was.
Because it was honest.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaoMe9aD2f
And it hurt.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilE38465CO
his voice is echocing in my ears..99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYkIUa0xs9
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJbHI8h34y
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHx4EgTGCK
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFt1SFXG7x
In every line, in every name—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtCXn6fLKG
I searched for you, but you never came
I sat down slowly by the window, on the cold floor, knees pulled up to my chest.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2hVl8SMnQ
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPMzVLRJlE
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQynPw00g9
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCQr3HGe5m
I dreamed of you at every bend,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLlKjODHGg
Held your shadow like a friend.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXQiiEnyGI
And when the pages reached their end...99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFRBq2mjU6
You were never really mine.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGZo2TXBws
Just a ghost I loved in time.....
And suddenly, I felt it.
A tear.
Then another.
And another.
My fingers covered my mouth, but it didn't stop the sob from escaping.
The music didn't stop either.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23XG6Pv4V1
He kept playing.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5twfXzqEx6
As if he knew someone out there needed it.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7zZRZk8EJ
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXxOKOkkpg
I dreamed of you, and I still do,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhM23SzHs9
But love like ours was never true.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YZLmrwd8E
It lived in silence, broke in light—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPf2Zs4doI
You were never really mine.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidXWbCl9V5
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMQO2byCGY
He didn't know my story.
But that night—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYadeTSeBYv
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNPX1klbKv
For life.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbNy7KOnaL
For the loneliness.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI0BrMj5mo
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Uwp32l7y
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM5PQ9AZHg
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTd7WQ4xb
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCh7704NnX
And now I know, with every cry—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabHnceeWlX
You were just a goodbye in disguise...99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqo5Pt5Q9D
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTkudoVtjC
i was listening my eyes are closed now and slowly slowly i feel myself frifting in sleep his voice is now vanishing in air..
I bled you out in quiet screams,99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd0owC3GBy
You only lived inside my dreams...99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxt1KP2V3l
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu4heS1q3D
and soon i slept right there near the window...
I woke up where I had fallen asleep—curled near the window, head against the cold wall, knees pulled to my chest.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Ck7JPz4V
The music was gone now.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqvyNmRAna
Only silence remained, pressed into the floor like dust.
I slowly stood up, the stiffness in my neck a quiet punishment for feeling too much.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJpr61VLbf
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntbmVxTN1l
But he wasn't there.
Just the faint morning air drifting in, touching everything like a memory that didn't belong to me.
I stared a little longer. Maybe hoping he'd appear again, guitar in hand, sadness in his voice.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HAbELDRn0
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn41zYQmBj
Or maybe I just was.
After dressing in my college uniform—the soft blue shirt and that old skirt that swayed just past my knees—I tied my hair into a low ponytail and headed downstairs.
The house was still wrapped in sleep.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrr3RoZT9V
Too quiet for comfort.
I walked to Mona's room, pulled the blanket off her face gently, and whispered, "Mona... wake up."
She grumbled and tried to burrow deeper.
I smiled faintly. "Don't make me use the spray bottle this time."
Her eyes snapped open she looked at me . "You wouldn't."
"Oh, I would," I teased, brushing my fingers through her hair. "Up. Now."
She groaned but sat up, and I left for the kitchen.
I started preparing breakfast—simple toast and warm milk again. My hands moved automatically, but my head...
My head felt heavy, like it had stored too many unspoken things overnight and didn't know where to put them anymore.
Mona came in, half-dressed, yawning like she hadn't slept in days.
We ate in silence. Not an awkward one, but the kind that builds between two people who have more thoughts than words.
After clearing the plates, I walked slowly toward Mom's room.
I opened the door just enough.
She was still asleep. Back turned. Same blanket. Same stillness.
I watched for a moment, trying to remember the last time she stayed awake long enough to say goodbye to us in the morning.
I didn't say anything.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGDwsFhtbD
I just closed the door.
Mona and I stepped outside. The street was cool, the morning air a little softer than usual.
We walked side by side, hand in hand, our footsteps light and steady.
But in my chest, something was starting to ache again.
We still live in the same house. But we don't live the same life anymore.
This family—whatever it used to be—is drifting apart like pieces of paper in the wind. And none of us is chasing them.
The classroom was too bright.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeOWZlziC5
Too loud.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2vjO4trN8
Too everything.
The teacher was explaining something—physics, motion, energy—but all I could hear was the ticking of the wall clock above the whiteboard.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDWAEJQh3P
Tick.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDlDAhzNxB
Tick.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uMsS0kCeG
Tick.
I stared out the window.
The wind moved slowly through the trees. People walked outside, laughing, whispering, living lives I would never understand.
My eyes drifted toward the sky.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZjwDCWgQh
It was empty.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡublfLHzfPA
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyJq2N9btF
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwqmyyNHKZ
The guitar.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bRC5Z2tUe
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbMECOddUU
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTCTy1KTEB
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vYxN8RykQ
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenYUqLpRqg
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITd3kcgeFD
Why does the world pause when a boy looks out his window with a guitar, but not when a girl walks home after strugling for life and everything ?
Why do girls bleed, break, burn—and still find ways to be soft?
And men? They get to sing a sad song and call it depth.
Why do they get to leave?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOYVHHj3q
Why do we stay?99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaF0Abrs4
Why do we carry their damage like a second spine?
Why is every poem about men who left?
Why is every girl taught how to heal but not how to scream?
I closed my notebook slowly.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT22wzZdkrC
The air felt heavier than before.
I looked at the teacher, then at my classmates, and then back at the window.
And in that moment—99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Cm9yBqJj
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDuGfLkTLd
