Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvrOFmitvm
I stared at the questions.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q4YP4T7ik
Tried to answer one.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiAyuUFDn4
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1Fi9EC3pp
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBlwS8b6tz
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84ZTKnRKI3
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdil3PgOXQ1
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWvM9GuNSX
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOqC4efoM6
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbfJ4T5MVl
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZu9ArO43
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t1cguPcVB
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtNkaodwKd
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoD7oMrmdm
Open.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tAGbMEXuC
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYDAoQNznD
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PkPCC562z
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,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu3lSbIvi7
Every name was there, but yours never bold...43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1fSiiJXgF
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyMbHQt9kv
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb680xV5RiJ
And it hurt.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgUlJ32HJe
his voice is echocing in my ears..43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg2iSIQNmT
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStBu3GcgWk
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDA7eQfcO2
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq6nj1IlhU
In every line, in every name—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbv3iALM4B
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4g6hiTC1r
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3pGPQYmT
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBaCoH4dEH
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GxsH2ynGM
I dreamed of you at every bend,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiIeBY7cut
Held your shadow like a friend.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKViQyarpIa
And when the pages reached their end...43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnp6zLTDye
You were never really mine.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0EDyEoms6
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GIpZl3mtK
He kept playing.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa0EWxPsQG
As if he knew someone out there needed it.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0pOZZAR7S
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SZysv95Hv
I dreamed of you, and I still do,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWnJMRKDTW
But love like ours was never true.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qlkMW3WD8
It lived in silence, broke in light—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGEktYq077
You were never really mine.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD5eNtw4Wu
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenCpjZTj0Q
He didn't know my story.
But that night—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGx85YxqFU
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXBFqlPggi
For life.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClzNEnxmw7
For the loneliness.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHFOHu8o0n
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzytivhgtq8
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLNVWKmiPV
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAdLSJFJ4f
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX4ygkvvjE
And now I know, with every cry—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSgx8p5SNZ
You were just a goodbye in disguise...43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cw0RrIXfu
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbafSsQdbI
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,43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHOn3eEASh
You only lived inside my dreams...43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AcXBTVRHQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jf1ZBH33n
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVq30ghevH
The music was gone now.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHkhMh0BAJ
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbegnm9OJZt
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ykgk1saSF
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuayIWQLwIc
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ9eQTpS7A
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBqfmVQiC6
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yKxYVzjhS
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTnDoq5f3N
Too loud.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGokajfaubT
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2TJmFmvy5
Tick.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1NorjXJph
Tick.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KlVdkQrSE
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ab4yh1r4u
It was empty.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHXmjDwZN2
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyIj6MM6CJ
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o3ZFOqst2
The guitar.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM2zMIPgux
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV1SRQIK4H
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UhSeekt5O
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c8LBQ4tlW
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJPaPAox8X
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtxHOrz1Ov
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?43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavLrIT8K3n
Why do we stay?43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmoLJaIOhw
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.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ZN6bZbwM
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—43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVQCtFhlPH
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkNNaa1oGo
