No Avail

It's been years since I last saw you, yet the memory of his warm smile and gentle voice still lingers in my thoughts. Where are you? This city now feels like an empty void.

 

We were oceans between us, yet intimately entwined. We promised forever. Night after night, we poured our hearts out. We longed to bridge the gap, to feel the warmth of each other's touch, and to hear the rhythm of our hearts beating as one.

 

Then, darkness descends, swallowing you whole. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and still, no sign of you. A venomous tendril suffocating my hope. My heart shattered into a million pieces. You vanished without a trace, leaving behind a ghost of your smile.

 

I searched for you tirelessly. Scouring every corner of the world, but to no avail. Each drop that falls is a sorrow I cannot voice. My darling, where are you?

 

Now, years later, I sit alone in my apartment. I've learned to live with the pain. They say I moved on. But how can one truly move on when a part of their soul remains forever tethered to the past? The memory of you still haunts my dreams like a phantom. I carry it like a precious relic. I wonder if you ever think of me, if your heart still bears the scars of our love.

 

As I gaze out at the stormy sky, a single tear rolls down my cheek. I know that our love was doomed from the start. Yet, a part of me clings to a flicker of light in the darkness. I pray that one day our paths will cross again, even if it's only in a nocturnal reverie.
