To the reader, from the fool.
So this is it.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY1230feGh
The last page.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoJYqZ4u40
The final breath of a story born from silence and scarred hearts.
You’ve read it.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqQbzJCfmK
Maybe lived it in echoes of your own.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6dZyQDilU
Felt the ache between sentences,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dJ42chNJi
or watched the wreckage unfold from a safe distance.
This is a fool’s story.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljjC0c4IjM
Mine.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasfxlOnLwn
Of the love that almost was,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPq8giXBtm
and the goodbye that always lingered too close.
It is not a story of heroes.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c5kKNMH9s
Nor one with villains.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWXjJDN2pN
Just two people —396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY26HiUecs
one who spoke too late,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUl8BxEnyO
and one who could no longer wait.
It’s strange, isn’t it?396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qnvNf3gUH
How love can bloom from nothing,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlrY1nhtoz
and still return to it.
How we spend years building bridges with words,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NT54TVirY
only to watch silence burn them down in moments.
I was never perfect.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx0j4I0INk
I said too much.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotFcOIEJev
Felt too much.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n6ClpVd31
Held on too long.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrq92SIqW8
And when it was time to let go,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKv48xGtAu
I let go in a way only a fool could —396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZQKJLAUc
quietly, completely, and with love still bleeding.
But what is love?396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dT7BzArNa
Is it the promises we keep?396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbyIwdZXOy
Or the ones we break to protect them?
Is it found in the staying,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRXp4cc1mt
or in the strength it takes to walk away?
We chase answers all our lives,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16z6WNZaJI
but maybe love isn’t meant to be answered.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7kuFa3hMZ
Maybe it’s meant to be questioned,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmNlWoCxdL
again and again,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLyo8rKMg7
until we learn who we are in the asking.
And as for life—396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0lZCwZJ3
It doesn’t give closure.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4UT8omvgA
It gives time.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3nkBGF4Kw
Time to outgrow.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97mF7sB4le
Time to forgive.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf8xAHnNHA
Time to remember without hurting.
So this is where I leave you, dear reader.
Not with a lesson.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkWwMLLMdF
Not even with peace.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54mhQltjML
But with the quiet truth:
Some goodbyes are final.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qp1gwH66j
Some aren’t.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEFAsHwro4
But all of them shape us.
And somewhere, after this end,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQPdIY03Cn
the fool will rise again.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul80Y29jAc
A little wiser.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtxXegcvqS
A little emptier.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FeaEcrpWR
But still—396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjId8e1HiKB
hoping.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKu08IPslB
Still—396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1DJSMlMVC
loving, in the only way he knows how.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByTwzS5gtn
Even if it breaks him.
So if you've come this far, thank you.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqjeW6MtZW
For seeing me.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPw91CwhRh
For listening when I had no voice left.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviIn34jncZ
For walking with a fool who only knew how to feel.
And when you close this story of sorts…396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674etorlhV
don’t forget:
Even in ruin,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBnHUPibBv
we find beauty.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6rnnZdYbD
Even in endings,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy8YtiCkKy
we grow.
And even a fool396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVJwF3P9j9
deserves to be remembered.
— The Fool,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZTPd0Ynw5
Who Loved,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5LCgVHNKh
Let Go,396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1xM1QvWAy
And Still Looked Back One Last Time.
