I walked through the corridors of what once was, where the whispers of past affections linger like fog on forgotten mornings. Here, shadows wrap around memory like vines creeping through an abandoned room, layering dust upon dust, an accumulation of unspoken sentiments.
"Each step taken on this path holds the imprint of decisions unmade."
The photographs hung crookedly on the faded walls—faces half-remembered, smiles that washed over their past as easily as the rain washes paint from an old sign. I find myself reaching for them, grasping at air where warmth once resided but I grasp a void instead. In these moments, one can only piece together the puzzle of names etched into the mist, a cipher of lost intimacy.
"Life, a canvas smeared with hues of could-have-beens, yet the future remains untouched."
As daylight wanes, the illusions start to dissolve but their residue clings, staining moments, turning evenings into cryptic passages of solitude. I listen, waiting for the voice that speaks in riddles, hinting at loves that might have crossed paths in a different universe, each hint drawing a constellation unknown, unclaimed, unattained.
"And the shadows whisper their untold stories, as I remain the solitary listener."
