Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.15Please respect copyright.PENANAfoShWmictr
I stared at the questions.15Please respect copyright.PENANAoDtCFkRZlh
Tried to answer one.15Please respect copyright.PENANA0XRIk9ooUF
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.15Please respect copyright.PENANAXdAws4fAby
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAYuy22So48w
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAkeRJNLtMQr
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.15Please respect copyright.PENANAgrhobQqemo
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.15Please respect copyright.PENANAjffCaemoMD
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.15Please respect copyright.PENANA9LBFt7ENUq
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.15Please respect copyright.PENANArR6Ws4u1pz
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.15Please respect copyright.PENANAviJhzvaCVE
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.15Please respect copyright.PENANAqTRubebNd1
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.15Please respect copyright.PENANATcculRa4Nc
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAlhBfM5Ev5V
Open.15Please respect copyright.PENANA0YSn5YTGUk
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAjVTlnuGUOH
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.15Please respect copyright.PENANA9FUGUXNPzk
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,15Please respect copyright.PENANAqbtyeGsTr9
Every name was there, but yours never bold...15Please respect copyright.PENANAxkGpo5B1s2
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,15Please respect copyright.PENANA2J2Dn1386o
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANADCByyt0iUc
And it hurt.15Please respect copyright.PENANAfbdPrjVjx3
his voice is echocing in my ears..15Please respect copyright.PENANArqW8HfJsT7
15Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9ieOyT55T
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,15Please respect copyright.PENANANrLn1dpOeC
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.15Please respect copyright.PENANAlKP2ZmKb1E
In every line, in every name—15Please respect copyright.PENANACLtpzn8Tww
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAoXboRzfBMc
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.15Please respect copyright.PENANAhQucO9WdU7
15Please respect copyright.PENANA5J2nAmhlK5
15Please respect copyright.PENANAuBtrqwJmWp
I dreamed of you at every bend,15Please respect copyright.PENANAkD0e4S6Mhl
Held your shadow like a friend.15Please respect copyright.PENANAErNTua41Lb
And when the pages reached their end...15Please respect copyright.PENANAri0rOrwv4h
You were never really mine.15Please respect copyright.PENANAOKzHf4T7I6
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAIho1RqOgIw
He kept playing.15Please respect copyright.PENANAN4MCHGzVCt
As if he knew someone out there needed it.15Please respect copyright.PENANAG8MPzSq81e
15Please respect copyright.PENANAa8n4H75ET7
I dreamed of you, and I still do,15Please respect copyright.PENANAh2P8zHrj7x
But love like ours was never true.15Please respect copyright.PENANADWRawQBA8d
It lived in silence, broke in light—15Please respect copyright.PENANAvB97pcmcmJ
You were never really mine.15Please respect copyright.PENANAoiEnWK38ML
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.15Please respect copyright.PENANA17OGtqt8uf
He didn't know my story.
But that night—15Please respect copyright.PENANAKaD9xcs4BU
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.15Please respect copyright.PENANAsh1ddb6TWK
For life.15Please respect copyright.PENANAr8Hi3YCl7H
For the loneliness.15Please respect copyright.PENANA8yi9NdX5FL
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...15Please respect copyright.PENANAYGopWXCm1X
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
15Please respect copyright.PENANAPJcHGQAkMv
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,15Please respect copyright.PENANAqdqrNHqJ0I
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.15Please respect copyright.PENANA7ilI9TupzB
And now I know, with every cry—15Please respect copyright.PENANA677PhQu7AA
You were just a goodbye in disguise...15Please respect copyright.PENANAAKJ0gVmf8H
15Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ScNlXIYq
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,15Please respect copyright.PENANAId1MkQbsQp
You only lived inside my dreams...15Please respect copyright.PENANAlKt89pgeF8
15Please respect copyright.PENANABmIJgouWCk
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANA6FnKdTweqW
The music was gone now.15Please respect copyright.PENANA5jdeEb1BcZ
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANABdOOQJxnbl
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.15Please respect copyright.PENANAG0ckVvr6fM
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAUO5cNLPD0Y
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.15Please respect copyright.PENANAWtQdtPbsll
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAfhqj2BbTNk
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAWkPS7FYUOl
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANA4OjJOPDKWd
Too loud.15Please respect copyright.PENANA8hS7NIhQ1w
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAxUmBjwRnP3
Tick.15Please respect copyright.PENANAXd2oo3XxGn
Tick.15Please respect copyright.PENANA6c5oX69GpG
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANACMHwwDLTPe
It was empty.15Please respect copyright.PENANAdRItmo8kp2
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—15Please respect copyright.PENANAg9kG0Rf90q
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.15Please respect copyright.PENANADZnvcEkBOA
The guitar.15Please respect copyright.PENANAbwzHqvFTe7
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.15Please respect copyright.PENANALa6j5CVgpv
15Please respect copyright.PENANAmKjJsBOyHe
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?15Please respect copyright.PENANAx32bdaFcia
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.15Please respect copyright.PENANAc65urK5lB5
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?15Please respect copyright.PENANAzxc3wQ7e7T
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?15Please respect copyright.PENANA3qLxpTtfxt
Why do we stay?15Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0Iupl6QKF
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.15Please respect copyright.PENANAmo5PAaaO3y
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—15Please respect copyright.PENANAT0xVPDCmwb
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.15Please respect copyright.PENANAFkNyJjJbYu
