“The Girl Who Never Left”
She remained. Not in body, but in feeling. A presence made of stillness, Of autumn air in springtime rooms, Of goosebumps when nothing touched you. She wasn’t tragic. She was timeless. Wearing a smile that knew all your secrets Even before you did. Hair like moonlight spun in waves, Eyes like unopened letters— Full of stories no one read. You don’t see her. You feel her. When your heart slows for no reason. When the world quiets for half a second too long. She’s there, leaning on silence, Draped in the calm of everything you forgot to feel. Not all ghosts are echoes of pain. Some are lullabies. Some are the final page of a book you never wanted to end. And when you're alone, truly alone— She doesn’t scare you. She reminds you. That love lingers. Even after the door has closed.
