Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQhC4lLPJa
I stared at the questions.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6AVVwqvdZ
Tried to answer one.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XE9SLfJKQ
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnxpnrPi8s
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UPzsRyVEC
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqh6xeNiOh
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIArnf5CE5C
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oVSM4iNTR
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ooMYM32I
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIFm5RIZWs
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSMUbo506d
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqYLNJtIGE
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcmHoiBLIe
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCD1gBquVn
Open.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarku1p58IZ
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02XwhxTCgS
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsMuXC8mEM
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,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7mYyiI1eg
Every name was there, but yours never bold...24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDVWtaC93H
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrFSt2iNec
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sZsAX4LCc
And it hurt.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MwjYw3YxE
his voice is echocing in my ears..24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2zL8KOehe
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0E8DMck8x
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVqSfzGG9n
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH6bxGfXGa
In every line, in every name—24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP5oYsGCDM
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1euqNi2zRB
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAaHvHge1Z
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45BNwdtl0H
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAx7XLUrbu
I dreamed of you at every bend,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT7PiZQlW4
Held your shadow like a friend.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrIdoQOPam
And when the pages reached their end...24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFVxbwBQAq
You were never really mine.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7IgrFpUjR
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2b5CZoWFA
He kept playing.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YXdErpBLI
As if he knew someone out there needed it.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNjKGZtztB
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtey3KzYFH
I dreamed of you, and I still do,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjDQT5THaF
But love like ours was never true.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgpTVU038f
It lived in silence, broke in light—24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56ZJrq5TYU
You were never really mine.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cpcCv63c2
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesiSSHPLUT
He didn't know my story.
But that night—24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySgXxHeiwT
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCAT0FLlbk
For life.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjuF3A1lTi
For the loneliness.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7rtPU8dy8
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULUkr3wC4l
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyayZ24cD4k
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkvQMRiijb
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcJvWF7Tcl
And now I know, with every cry—24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUB1DTcxph
You were just a goodbye in disguise...24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtepMBQvkzi
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZd007lLQk
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,24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNxiwLuBcg
You only lived inside my dreams...24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHB7BKMfRc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLJWowXn3K
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgzwl9xXjn
The music was gone now.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyd9yDnbIA
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOw7sPZhb5
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAvfgqEvww
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUvX2imuNQ
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pPA87z9qF
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjg7zrc8Rv
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxta6MlpoV0
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDsMCblkjn
Too loud.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgzvmh1IXJ
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxZ5plhmCU
Tick.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk6rnfz66Q
Tick.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2NlsXBExw
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYgc1Upxgk
It was empty.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpFYdKN1WK
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZwfrqBX7r
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wDq6DElgn
The guitar.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPb3AgjjJk
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzPpV8Hk3F
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwScNYkOzFp
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsz7rYFxT4
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOFMrraXjj
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbdCnDFB8M
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?24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxh62MZEI7
Why do we stay?24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutNlq7iTlR
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.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34IHVBWckz
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—24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnAO4Q4t4K
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3eudPS9cS
