Amara pov:
I sat down at my study table, pulling out my books.
My fingers opened the notebook out of habit.20Please respect copyright.PENANAkMHpqwphsE
I stared at the questions.20Please respect copyright.PENANAIAIZKxjcjm
Tried to answer one.20Please respect copyright.PENANALyqM4uOAkg
Then another.
Not because I was inspired.20Please respect copyright.PENANAS1jqgmvhsu
Not because I had a dream.
But because I had to.
20Please respect copyright.PENANA0zCyx86xpu
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ijr3HLWuQ
Sometimes there's no choice. No grand moment of decision. No forks in the road.20Please respect copyright.PENANAIWbBFVPznV
Sometimes, the choice is already gone—cut clean from your life before you even got to see it.
I kept writing. Slowly.20Please respect copyright.PENANABCAE5rtzRZ
The pen dragged, the ink smudged a little, but I kept going.20Please respect copyright.PENANAf890iAsSg0
Because I must.
And that was enough—for tonight.20Please respect copyright.PENANAKzkDJBlABU
later I curled up in bed, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it didn't help.
Sleep wasn't coming.20Please respect copyright.PENANAo9zDZx35qD
Not even close.
I stared at the ceiling—blank eyes, blank mind.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed loudly.20Please respect copyright.PENANArnSTdKTujy
Just silence pressing into the room like fog.
And then...
A soft sound.
A strum. Faint.20Please respect copyright.PENANABMItd2J184
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAWmKoyHwacd
Open.20Please respect copyright.PENANAKYq9lNkvdt
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAlNSkHavekA
My neighbor.
His fingers strummed again.20Please respect copyright.PENANAv34uKwkI7X
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,20Please respect copyright.PENANA8ob8epTe1A
Every name was there, but yours never bold...20Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ifb3L2SC6
I thought of you at every bend, loved you with breathless ache,20Please respect copyright.PENANAGTiuWEvIFt
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAr2NgUkfgZP
And it hurt.20Please respect copyright.PENANAdnnRR6kA0H
his voice is echocing in my ears..20Please respect copyright.PENANAxmJ4op63ep
20Please respect copyright.PENANAloon3OCqiZ
I wrote all night, couldn't sleep,20Please respect copyright.PENANAg6ssEuEbTS
Tried to bury what I couldn't keep.20Please respect copyright.PENANAWvU2g29bMD
In every line, in every name—20Please respect copyright.PENANAbrQGQtF5mr
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAzFYCp41Qgs
The guitar strings echoed softly in the night—like a quiet heartbreak shared between strangers.20Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0f7WXqxWe
20Please respect copyright.PENANAerXLbPLMji
20Please respect copyright.PENANAOZE0oQwmQr
I dreamed of you at every bend,20Please respect copyright.PENANA3jRknxc6T5
Held your shadow like a friend.20Please respect copyright.PENANAaX00BIUv8N
And when the pages reached their end...20Please respect copyright.PENANAxIHJBzzdjY
You were never really mine.20Please respect copyright.PENANAeBL71PFnz6
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAipjCT18NDR
He kept playing.20Please respect copyright.PENANA0u97ZAoR3A
As if he knew someone out there needed it.20Please respect copyright.PENANAUWgUvCLuQp
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKLXAJdEB4R
I dreamed of you, and I still do,20Please respect copyright.PENANAbn8gWRhb8t
But love like ours was never true.20Please respect copyright.PENANAscANSlSjYs
It lived in silence, broke in light—20Please respect copyright.PENANA9K1Qj64LHx
You were never really mine.20Please respect copyright.PENANAR9NODeQr7G
Just a name I lost to night....
As if he knew I needed it.
I didn't know his name.20Please respect copyright.PENANAGEQlgQ90Rc
He didn't know my story.
But that night—20Please respect copyright.PENANArmtFMJxXo8
He gave voice to what I couldn't say.
And I cried.20Please respect copyright.PENANAwq8G7ac38R
For life.20Please respect copyright.PENANAl99f2orcec
For the loneliness.20Please respect copyright.PENANAGUgpK3WcXl
For all the nights I pretended it didn't hurt.
And for once...20Please respect copyright.PENANAG6cXiIkuDy
I didn't feel alone in the dark.
20Please respect copyright.PENANAU93FOcNJBW
I gave you poems, I gave you songs,20Please respect copyright.PENANAzxetj5gv0n
Wrote you right, but lived you wrong.20Please respect copyright.PENANALcEYv3mxR0
And now I know, with every cry—20Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Syz5gQKs
You were just a goodbye in disguise...20Please respect copyright.PENANA32mTbY3Vaa
20Please respect copyright.PENANAkRJjj4OWNY
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,20Please respect copyright.PENANAwLOV9qq6sc
You only lived inside my dreams...20Please respect copyright.PENANA3NZTywVumr
20Please respect copyright.PENANA1XdeVnAAiv
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAEkgiOFYUiW
The music was gone now.20Please respect copyright.PENANAjvqwVJK7hj
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANA3YeerLirfQ
I looked out the window again.
His window was still open.20Please respect copyright.PENANAtuDFskt1I3
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAjlD6yJ5Hgr
But the room across was still—lightless, lifeless.
I sighed, stepped back, and went into the bathroom for a shower.
The water was cold.20Please respect copyright.PENANAUKLCa8PDqS
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAhgrjy9Cf9o
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAXsxezFEtDO
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANAGhNXkVO8Sx
Too loud.20Please respect copyright.PENANASbHNVQvNKJ
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANATWnN78B1VW
Tick.20Please respect copyright.PENANAdgLz8BZQKq
Tick.20Please respect copyright.PENANA22iC3BE2Zi
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANARxZWu686YA
It was empty.20Please respect copyright.PENANAnIhECat5Am
Just like yesterday. Just like most things.
And then, just like that—20Please respect copyright.PENANApd7BuieSCR
I thought of him again.
The boy next door.20Please respect copyright.PENANAowicrfkiqE
The guitar.20Please respect copyright.PENANAC0paGpXaMJ
The late-night music.
And for a second—just one foolish second—I wondered where he went.20Please respect copyright.PENANANtc6JGB1rI
20Please respect copyright.PENANAKTzle6vbzh
Why his window was open, but he was gone.
And then the anger kicked in.
Why do I even care?20Please respect copyright.PENANANAlMZ70K9M
Why is it always a boy? Always a man? Always... them?
I blinked, looked down at my notebook. The page was empty.20Please respect copyright.PENANALgVvyTFUI3
Just like me.
And suddenly, I couldn't hold it anymore.
Why is it always "he"?20Please respect copyright.PENANAJjRejesmuY
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?20Please respect copyright.PENANAigukGiue7c
Why do we stay?20Please respect copyright.PENANAAuJC9x5ge3
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.20Please respect copyright.PENANALQ9mZketKl
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—20Please respect copyright.PENANAzix9YfjcIs
I didn't want a love story..
I wanted peace.20Please respect copyright.PENANAKMGqvCKpYi
