It wasn't about two months; I just wished you'd be beside me, if only for that one day.

Holding On

Two months of silence,

two months of waiting,

my heart still clings

to the echoes of your voice.

You once saw me,

your eyes lit with a crush,

I was your world,

your calls, your messages,

every moment was mine.

But fights carved cracks,

arguments built walls,

now only short calls remain,

empty words, hollow tones.

I reached for you,

I wanted to remind you —

I saw you drunk,

laughing with friends,

and I stood there,

wondering who I am to you.

We are still in love,

at least in name,

but I feel like a shadow

in your fading flame.

I remember the bike rides,

the warmth of your hand,

the eye contact that spoke

what words never could.

I longed to hug you,

to hold you close,

but the moment slipped,

and nothing happened.

Two months of pain,

two months of longing,

I remain here,

with love that bleeds,

but refuses to die.

    What was going through your head that night when you saw him? Like, did part of you want to say something, or were you just... stuck?

    That moment of seeing him laughing with friends while you're standing there... yeah, that hits different.

    The bike rides stuck with me. There's something about remembering when someone actually saw you.

    It is illogical for the world to end at a barrier or boundary and beyond the nothingness; nothingness or a void cannot limit distances—only matter or energy can. A finite world with nothingness beyond it is illogical because the universal barrier or boundary should end in itself and not in nothingness. There is no defined limit in the universe, since fundamental particles never stop vibrating; for them to stop, they would need to be at absolute zero, whereas the average temperature

    The Mask Fits Too Well I'm only thirteen— they say that's too young to know what breaking feels like. So I smile. I laugh at the right jokes, say "I'm fine" before they ask, and fold my storms into pockets no one checks. Some nights my memories knock like thunder on a house already shaking. The past still remembers my name even when I try to forget it. They call me strong. But strength isn't never crying.
