Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7rsJTF0hG
I stared at the questions.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt1zpABn0f
Tried to answer one.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKgCmtutl
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzggaPA0Pwq
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurPc86gMrf
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrehlsdoSb
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVlAM2pO9y
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMynlxFgGrt
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpki2SG1cf
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre4aj35dni
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWxc3DYU76
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiubDmLzan
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17rlauRIlD
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rBFOUp24N
Open.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0QozF73wL
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbQGT6ciFe
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQv7YEWkHX
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,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCAGfsRYQd
Every name was there, but yours never bold...14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhEF5qfjhz
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zsTeFsw9v
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SrNju32r4
And it hurt.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLBjxKW5bs
his voice is echocing in my ears..14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4vCtDZrxF
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNRvmvmA8G
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLMZRdcNrp
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTRRk5Dl2k
In every line, in every name—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyZ0oGsqpt
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvfkWKA3pm
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06FmcwcQdK
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdWZvfhBwl
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8MbXDiWUL
I dreamed of you at every bend,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaqAF0iT1V
Held your shadow like a friend.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo48j0KOoF
And when the pages reached their end...14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA0LXuyAYp
You were never really mine.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kqH7CiQKs
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFlMenE1Oz
He kept playing.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrLacXFuEd
As if he knew someone out there needed it.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDvu58CGO4
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQbLnJU8H1
I dreamed of you, and I still do,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwxwLiLWat
But love like ours was never true.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5wCqdWJgG
It lived in silence, broke in light—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeQOcvMnfk
You were never really mine.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9qeatgGV3
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp1N3no9fB
He didn't know my story.
But that night—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib3SEbmzh9
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4kduLoOcA
For life.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPftZEgGEVs
For the loneliness.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEbuc22XyG
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXwUMgpeG2
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3krfNtFpeH
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAADIvvvRsy
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0CSNQ0O3K
And now I know, with every cry—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWRvIRWfii
You were just a goodbye in disguise...14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gc5NmKcAQ
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkBBGhBydR
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,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85GUcItSW7
You only lived inside my dreams...14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0t2OUYMsF
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0lVdWg06I
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rb8YmLp5P
The music was gone now.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9YCL828zB
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokRwzw8Z5E
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtbJ4M84Wa
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIgwO1ZzEM
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz6UkOJNZN
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScKSxe2SRa
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VixXjIQ83
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOKZzAsmMs
Too loud.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bLQEJxQ0Y
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7pOAihURO
Tick.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RK61cX7p5
Tick.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVauzVrxGP
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF4VmFCMpO
It was empty.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDoMXCVYDF
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6in0ZUu1j
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEy3bCGofV
The guitar.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzGBCnircK
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7nxiSOh3S
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoF5rcIg9Y
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYPz8X9b9l
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu6vSkEeuS
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmguuKoPM4
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?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGwmjtX26H
Why do we stay?14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGI6Q7MLt6
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.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic2YJwEDXW
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—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL7WgBYVK7
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnSYiyMLR5
