Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWpXct3GEq
I stared at the questions.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0BuOEfo2u
Tried to answer one.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk96ro5SHNI
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdYjKGcpSz
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHuKLydglW
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpwWpJlSO
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwEwYC7YA7
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKAeOwYy7w
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn4lbMZINO
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CciGccOmK
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnYcfvxxmF
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCm490ELIT
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw3MOTgvuc
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3dgJMfis
Open.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMKT25zsOR
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1la41R3OiD
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdknGV8DZE5
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,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKJBY9LzGO
Every name was there, but yours never bold...37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxelfAE5hPe
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJQj4aRyjO
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVJOlCz5g5
And it hurt.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD4sCHCYNk
his voice is echocing in my ears..37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZywNgQfUr4
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU96h37F7N
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Omg9QVcJ7
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn6ufMutZs
In every line, in every name—37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH5f8hEWfd
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ufsJFnCN
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16YTh4wq4a
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKrmF1hbyR
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAkuHuo57H
I dreamed of you at every bend,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx55UkA9O9C
Held your shadow like a friend.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaJYlQIA2S
And when the pages reached their end...37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WaLrIJMwY
You were never really mine.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUxrfToLKz
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzS7Mzoa7m
He kept playing.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQY8ypcBIQ
As if he knew someone out there needed it.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnHBOj6DK1
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY1MvdEy10
I dreamed of you, and I still do,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMekrWrEOZw
But love like ours was never true.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99NWXq75d6
It lived in silence, broke in light—37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXPvzHWM7Z
You were never really mine.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiQDiAisGG
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy1GneHA09
He didn't know my story.
But that night—37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeTuKpYw4V
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Ue0KqNMV
For life.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9b2fsasw9
For the loneliness.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLnKqvfhHT
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3xtDV5PNj
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWC7QUCMkU
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgQkpnTGeK
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmFhV3BWQD
And now I know, with every cry—37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoIKUDNgyP
You were just a goodbye in disguise...37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs78iaDZ69q
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpolXmJlac
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,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5ZuMG83GH
You only lived inside my dreams...37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLidM6gdGd
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6dJPXJPn
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzTOKAt8ui
The music was gone now.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv9oRFlIeL
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vvJd4zO5f
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuF4JHQz6V
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8n2EMqa5z
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetZ82AwQZU
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62b0Vj8aX
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tDWstQVNn
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnEp2fZZp8
Too loud.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnK3hsDzdr
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99fgTwzDll
Tick.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqxcdXmWBh
Tick.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnnhQDzdco
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHfUecnqea
It was empty.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuNRffDQdJ
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpqZqdnzrv
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Op5Vb7bPM
The guitar.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lToEwa5uu
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqMiRhfWg8
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUp7GbhFjl
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvJB2MfJVk
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmZx1upn9L
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F37gnCKK4
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?37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyHaXDsiae
Why do we stay?37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cj3gF9dUA
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgov6YmDrZ
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—37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpKlYNNK2b
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5SpfqdG9q
