Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKxUY1cPRC
I stared at the questions.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs7IiE8irK
Tried to answer one.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRalhsMdtu
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jFvyoHvPR
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNG94XpXlq
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBE2b8X07t
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXhLYEH3K7
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPSN7LguSq
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZSm7Tle2S
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhembSNdUj4
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKyBznSz3F
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMfpsBhk1L
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTacPj5hWl
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUoL8RDXGK
Open.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVT6VJLNzd
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIozoS2Rxb
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLeBDL3T3v
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,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHtCyP1oby
Every name was there, but yours never bold...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzPV4dTK2i
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVTzV271NO
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6IBmsOV2z
And it hurt.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsr7JPghae
his voice is echocing in my ears..25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUkPxO8HCM
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBouvnBmA3a
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgYOHOnRh0
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNlExxSQLZ
In every line, in every name—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaHM1KXVyp
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLHiLPcj0R
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVbe1Z2ngQ
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkbTZo0Rb5
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNLJ3JmrRp
I dreamed of you at every bend,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KMijW29Ym
Held your shadow like a friend.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCNWx2AjUP
And when the pages reached their end...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecC7mp0OEB
You were never really mine.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTQVYkBPuG
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7WdO6DLxh
He kept playing.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHiJJwDQkn
As if he knew someone out there needed it.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxOPaoQDQB
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3SIPePq3N
I dreamed of you, and I still do,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq696pQRPo
But love like ours was never true.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X8RH4mLon
It lived in silence, broke in light—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUERRHvrswt
You were never really mine.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmulsQusOb
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ7wJg59IW
He didn't know my story.
But that night—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHSmLm8Xly
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpT3mptwH3
For life.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V9u02qthm
For the loneliness.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIRE39smnQ
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ332TmRRK45
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybRdyjlDsB
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsonnUN1Ufc
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56bPBK9dbT
And now I know, with every cry—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGK4J1dpMZ
You were just a goodbye in disguise...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid7hwx7Gfd
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONbxPWCUPn
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,25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkpKpuBcuk
You only lived inside my dreams...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0cPIUiZJ6
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnijsUy0ruy
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuHkq6FBxp
The music was gone now.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0g9jGboto
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O5ASdM2aD
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVmvJrn3of
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDnCEcrnLH
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnsDL95ZP0
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXcbTFaG3A
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbwujcncHp
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrcDMF2WTg
Too loud.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzz0slplqJ
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AUx6htChe
Tick.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z5QWmrZsu
Tick.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uOxTQOLgP
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKnIRXCUcG
It was empty.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCEGgx0Lwa
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAocWyjMPEH
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu3KVKmk2M
The guitar.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9aRvBDASd
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciH3GDbPEQ
25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOdSNtg3nX
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFWjSfIedS
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOcmXmt8JD
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZaalvWL74
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?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3bxw9p1lg
Why do we stay?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG35759P56I
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1A2eI6Gqe
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—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jkYZwfvDQ
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7JdYnUr4i
