To the reader, from the fool.
So this is it.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBc35JKVbu
The last page.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaptO8YW4K
The final breath of a story born from silence and scarred hearts.
You’ve read it.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm52QO9Jbeg
Maybe lived it in echoes of your own.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW2F8Ibvpu
Felt the ache between sentences,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWTco1mWBu
or watched the wreckage unfold from a safe distance.
This is a fool’s story.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2NwoFvQCE
Mine.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGGV1E27Ri
Of the love that almost was,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lnuAGyg02
and the goodbye that always lingered too close.
It is not a story of heroes.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dPfAlt2u5
Nor one with villains.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwBn1xOvsG
Just two people —357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrsiO3YmOr
one who spoke too late,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuicLGzXd0
and one who could no longer wait.
It’s strange, isn’t it?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ877sWvNbqx
How love can bloom from nothing,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZxTAp7Fw8
and still return to it.
How we spend years building bridges with words,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMkaFVJn0A
only to watch silence burn them down in moments.
I was never perfect.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ18rUH7Zrn
I said too much.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzj2vYvF2s
Felt too much.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv2OZznlTn
Held on too long.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95gjaBohnK
And when it was time to let go,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBBFzi97Tw
I let go in a way only a fool could —357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuoLQ2y2zh
quietly, completely, and with love still bleeding.
But what is love?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg7wei3wHM
Is it the promises we keep?357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROEhlbEn2H
Or the ones we break to protect them?
Is it found in the staying,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMHvBQQr6Z
or in the strength it takes to walk away?
We chase answers all our lives,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgBi2XCIzA
but maybe love isn’t meant to be answered.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwywgFPosS
Maybe it’s meant to be questioned,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU783KzS1e0
again and again,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIenEouaEkO
until we learn who we are in the asking.
And as for life—357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5bvVcuHNK
It doesn’t give closure.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLRC0x3cyy
It gives time.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhvgYkabU5
Time to outgrow.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQuORefAuz
Time to forgive.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISeau9Ehaz
Time to remember without hurting.
So this is where I leave you, dear reader.
Not with a lesson.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgPsyAlMmn
Not even with peace.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXccPYIhXX1
But with the quiet truth:
Some goodbyes are final.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HTUaC0a0x
Some aren’t.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gUSMxFvQh
But all of them shape us.
And somewhere, after this end,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeI9j1hAsT
the fool will rise again.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ8cVxwvxY
A little wiser.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKy4sNoaMA
A little emptier.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9AmbEFsmQ
But still—357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA5IU7PqC3
hoping.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ftCgfH5eg
Still—357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNIG3EZ7kY
loving, in the only way he knows how.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HM4qgAcCY
Even if it breaks him.
So if you've come this far, thank you.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVTksqNcYA
For seeing me.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCyxR9ZJRW
For listening when I had no voice left.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnbdBi7ys9
For walking with a fool who only knew how to feel.
And when you close this story of sorts…357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKRPdcwsbV
don’t forget:
Even in ruin,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB47ZOSS9C
we find beauty.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIIDfrS0Ja
Even in endings,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUW7om3mC
we grow.
And even a fool357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHTIIwGLEg
deserves to be remembered.
— The Fool,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA4tYSnOaC
Who Loved,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtNLsUCBNd
Let Go,357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn1BUBYTMI
And Still Looked Back One Last Time.
