I loved you in the way the sea loves the shore—
Unseen, unspoken, yet relentless in its pull.
Each wave that crashed felt like an echo of us,
Bound by an invisible tether, stretching further
With every moment we spent apart.
There are no apologies deep enough
To untangle the mess we made,
But love, real love, was never meant to be tidy.

You walked away, leaving pieces of me behind
In places I couldn’t reach,
And I found them in fragments of dreams,
In moments where I could still hear your laugh
And feel the warmth of your skin.
You became the space between breaths—
A space so heavy it threatened to suffocate...
