Another Life

*After You Left Me* I’ve started to realize that there are versions of us that exist outside of this silence. Somewhere, in a different fold of time, we never said goodbye. In that place, the coffee is still warm, the lights are still bright, and the "After" never had to happen. I find myself drifting into that ambient daydream just to catch my breath, imagining a world where the timing was right and the stars didn't move against us. But here, in this reality, I am learning to walk alone. I’ve accepted that we are two parallel lines now, stretching out into the dark, destined to never touch again in this lifetime. I don't hate the silence anymore; I just see it as the price of admission for a story that had to end. Maybe we’ll get it right next time. Maybe we’ll find a way to stay when the world tells us to go. But for now, I’ll leave those dreams in *Another Life* , and try to figure out how to exist in this one without you..... --- *Another Life*
