Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.94Please respect copyright.PENANASutarwLcud
I stared at the questions.94Please respect copyright.PENANAtehHFWp5lr
Tried to answer one.94Please respect copyright.PENANAe04eDvXWOE
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.94Please respect copyright.PENANAohhTIynwi6
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAPejCXycVO4
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAAn7nMYfG2f
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.94Please respect copyright.PENANAhVGOHT7ZtD
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.94Please respect copyright.PENANArWAOdsLJPh
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.94Please respect copyright.PENANAUHH77eCw4K
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.94Please respect copyright.PENANAbEhNMG3BHF
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.94Please respect copyright.PENANA3Awru2Fna5
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.94Please respect copyright.PENANAgmaSbQtpGO
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.94Please respect copyright.PENANAJpVkbPmhwJ
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAyDNcHpDQqC
Open.94Please respect copyright.PENANAZcl4y1HTpg
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAzCVTHW6ezH
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.94Please respect copyright.PENANAyLizDhGDLG
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,94Please respect copyright.PENANAPG3lyLyHHT
Every name was there, but yours never bold...94Please respect copyright.PENANAdDKTiljP2K
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,94Please respect copyright.PENANAvX44qTUfzI
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAuUMJTnUmdn
And it hurt.94Please respect copyright.PENANAfBAdgbwVny
his voice is echocing in my ears..94Please respect copyright.PENANAOLlO9k0Mml
94Please respect copyright.PENANAEzMzDusgSP
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,94Please respect copyright.PENANAOk3TyhvI6y
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.94Please respect copyright.PENANA4OOYbcVEmb
In every line, in every name—94Please respect copyright.PENANAPizI5mUlkr
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAHCVtIVQZU2
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.94Please respect copyright.PENANAL8FwS9cN27
94Please respect copyright.PENANAk7EfjNKZsx
94Please respect copyright.PENANAYNBvUs0MYg
I dreamed of you at every bend,94Please respect copyright.PENANAOwES7s3E6M
Held your shadow like a friend.94Please respect copyright.PENANApnwJzqGUga
And when the pages reached their end...94Please respect copyright.PENANAcgh2JBRaoD
You were never really mine.94Please respect copyright.PENANAxm3O5F0qpc
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAjeeuWkXjMs
He kept playing.94Please respect copyright.PENANA6LCuceH0Li
As if he knew someone out there needed it.94Please respect copyright.PENANANKD7fR949k
94Please respect copyright.PENANAc3PVszlEzD
I dreamed of you, and I still do,94Please respect copyright.PENANAuyQ1HwjL2q
But love like ours was never true.94Please respect copyright.PENANApDZpXUdbVL
It lived in silence, broke in light—94Please respect copyright.PENANAa0bV4aeSIr
You were never really mine.94Please respect copyright.PENANACjlBzXhxoq
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.94Please respect copyright.PENANAzkFtjebz8f
He didn't know my story.
But that night—94Please respect copyright.PENANAJaSjzY5zGe
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.94Please respect copyright.PENANAY7qfvOEIfK
For life.94Please respect copyright.PENANAZUjGOxxIao
For the loneliness.94Please respect copyright.PENANAjBlLNiJdWF
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...94Please respect copyright.PENANACLnUk3VdrR
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAEE4ofKBYJe
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,94Please respect copyright.PENANAvBILHoSWi8
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.94Please respect copyright.PENANAOOnibvcQZI
And now I know, with every cry—94Please respect copyright.PENANAcBVZix514t
You were just a goodbye in disguise...94Please respect copyright.PENANAw3vvzaOcDk
94Please respect copyright.PENANAT6wR66DBZP
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,94Please respect copyright.PENANAXqqKSrdyS6
You only lived inside my dreams...94Please respect copyright.PENANAPbEqAWhp6J
94Please respect copyright.PENANAB9IK8HtYhI
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAkqpgtMzSn9
The music was gone now.94Please respect copyright.PENANA4FeBdmgOOM
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAAXDWq4OLc5
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.94Please respect copyright.PENANAjcFixf9qxC
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAMcxiR4aKs3
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.94Please respect copyright.PENANARZBVoAjAXX
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANA7cMy9Ce6MZ
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANA0aOxU4WcKN
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAfG2RIxgfDh
Too loud.94Please respect copyright.PENANAuaVJwOlD27
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANA1R6TSZm4pa
Tick.94Please respect copyright.PENANAAS5ftyC5NM
Tick.94Please respect copyright.PENANAqM5Tx2pBhs
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAFJvGajmjd2
It was empty.94Please respect copyright.PENANA4EUp8L1Wot
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—94Please respect copyright.PENANAotvbSeMugZ
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.94Please respect copyright.PENANAIWj2mwGUgz
The guitar.94Please respect copyright.PENANA59b1Pem48z
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.94Please respect copyright.PENANA2FbpV1F3pd
94Please respect copyright.PENANAfBXpWVrOw6
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?94Please respect copyright.PENANAIlrN6N0lzS
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.94Please respect copyright.PENANAARKKItm9kr
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?94Please respect copyright.PENANA4MhjZUZLpr
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?94Please respect copyright.PENANATRflhd98wK
Why do we stay?94Please respect copyright.PENANAsUVDZdojNO
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.94Please respect copyright.PENANAdhtsyOa5Ki
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—94Please respect copyright.PENANAexEP7RNrPd
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.94Please respect copyright.PENANAs96QhHfKgK
