Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.46Please respect copyright.PENANAWqlnJSezfI
I stared at the questions.46Please respect copyright.PENANAguMbbuYjO2
Tried to answer one.46Please respect copyright.PENANApA2EXEjIxB
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.46Please respect copyright.PENANAbTbkk9eoTA
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
46Please respect copyright.PENANAZnh4dlgHss
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAci501nyIlu
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.46Please respect copyright.PENANALcZKx36OJY
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.46Please respect copyright.PENANAKtucdA7WXa
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.46Please respect copyright.PENANAGXEWg18NVj
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.46Please respect copyright.PENANAi1VTLEcl6h
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.46Please respect copyright.PENANAgNM0Ug1BEG
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.46Please respect copyright.PENANATBgOAFoCeQ
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.46Please respect copyright.PENANAb00Ml92nbq
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAiantJ9lNGZ
Open.46Please respect copyright.PENANAjkdWT3hWke
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAz6wVF04zsF
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.46Please respect copyright.PENANAbFuW8yRKXH
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,46Please respect copyright.PENANAHoPPACVHct
Every name was there, but yours never bold...46Please respect copyright.PENANARQYNkSlB6w
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,46Please respect copyright.PENANA1A279rlqOJ
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANARV58MYZwJQ
And it hurt.46Please respect copyright.PENANAxYbYlDRyKD
his voice is echocing in my ears..46Please respect copyright.PENANAh6CxkOY7NK
46Please respect copyright.PENANADRMbnO4tRi
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,46Please respect copyright.PENANAJAZVjLmJK2
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.46Please respect copyright.PENANACbcjXmSSWd
In every line, in every name—46Please respect copyright.PENANAPb4fywC2is
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAms5ZutT58n
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.46Please respect copyright.PENANArlQtV5EGKS
46Please respect copyright.PENANAgFRyfd1shD
46Please respect copyright.PENANAdl3QksqONN
I dreamed of you at every bend,46Please respect copyright.PENANAwAvwzKKzLx
Held your shadow like a friend.46Please respect copyright.PENANAeZj9ktrCBa
And when the pages reached their end...46Please respect copyright.PENANA343VByEYTo
You were never really mine.46Please respect copyright.PENANAvI1oKnEo4D
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAwyklxDZcC5
He kept playing.46Please respect copyright.PENANAMtAArgvBtI
As if he knew someone out there needed it.46Please respect copyright.PENANAmYKrXo8vF0
46Please respect copyright.PENANA0xFig5DNPt
I dreamed of you, and I still do,46Please respect copyright.PENANAiLYaJ73oF7
But love like ours was never true.46Please respect copyright.PENANAZLM0EMJX1S
It lived in silence, broke in light—46Please respect copyright.PENANAO2fxZtu7qX
You were never really mine.46Please respect copyright.PENANAZDqlbdglwC
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.46Please respect copyright.PENANA2wEyT80HgC
He didn't know my story.
But that night—46Please respect copyright.PENANAMbfzjYUaC0
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.46Please respect copyright.PENANA9RCpmxPZUb
For life.46Please respect copyright.PENANAMqr4yFp6fV
For the loneliness.46Please respect copyright.PENANADZB9FLWjul
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...46Please respect copyright.PENANASsLtgbyYKX
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
46Please respect copyright.PENANARzEI4MEAYj
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,46Please respect copyright.PENANAo553Vm27xV
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.46Please respect copyright.PENANAhYf6dzl3zJ
And now I know, with every cry—46Please respect copyright.PENANASmKywUYK3H
You were just a goodbye in disguise...46Please respect copyright.PENANAzi9sP5ooha
46Please respect copyright.PENANAV0uR6oDBqm
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,46Please respect copyright.PENANAsd2Zk90NwT
You only lived inside my dreams...46Please respect copyright.PENANAilu400H62B
46Please respect copyright.PENANABCBCFrjzmb
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANANE1ndhkTHD
The music was gone now.46Please respect copyright.PENANA6TOqa74Yfn
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAbf8VGESOF2
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.46Please respect copyright.PENANAYoM54IeI7T
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAhNBebB8fys
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.46Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y7tAwKIRS
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAMiVZJkNFVj
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAtryfT3Cmh2
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANA0wO35R3qrQ
Too loud.46Please respect copyright.PENANABoHaWj1ORc
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANA9cQN3WjL3R
Tick.46Please respect copyright.PENANA97iJAulsLr
Tick.46Please respect copyright.PENANAzWqmOtvrGJ
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAYMs8FqcXIZ
It was empty.46Please respect copyright.PENANADLXlwBXz5b
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—46Please respect copyright.PENANAfkwgPMhm5P
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.46Please respect copyright.PENANAmKAbHMcdG5
The guitar.46Please respect copyright.PENANA3YGFVqmX4z
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.46Please respect copyright.PENANAVa5Berp3gy
46Please respect copyright.PENANAztVJWY0COy
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?46Please respect copyright.PENANAzWYSmIGrq9
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.46Please respect copyright.PENANArVYnvo9SzT
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?46Please respect copyright.PENANASZDnhoWWzV
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?46Please respect copyright.PENANApuYWyQhjoo
Why do we stay?46Please respect copyright.PENANA8wqX75F7GQ
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.46Please respect copyright.PENANAxT9bsQtlAV
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—46Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZD4xoFp0j
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.46Please respect copyright.PENANAyEWYPa0cWc
