Thread 3: The Distance

After that day, I chose to stay still.
I told my heart to bend to no will.
I stopped my calls, I stayed away,
Even when he tried to reach me that day.

Slowly, he too began to fade,
And I decided not to let my heart be swayed.
Not to hope too much, not to care,
Trying to breathe in the quiet air.

But some bonds are stronger than thought.
Some connections cannot be fought.
Without trying, without a plan,
We found each other again and again.

From my window, I used to see him there,
A quiet look, a moment we’d share.
At first, it happened just once or twice,
Then slowly, it became a little slice of life.

I waited for him, my heart feeling light,
Hoping for a glance, a smile so bright.
But one day he didn’t appear,
And the world felt empty, quiet, and clear.

Then I heard he had gone far away,
To God’s own country, so distant, so gray.
A quiet ache settled deep in my chest,
A mix of longing, worry, and unrest.

I wondered why my heart ached so deep,
Why I missed him in moments I could not keep.
Then I realized, yes, I had fallen, it was true,
A gentle love had quietly grown between us two.

But then I heard the rumors, he was to be engaged,
A path already set, no choice left to take.
Bound by family, he could not turn or stay,
And my silent heart broke in a quiet way.
