— a journey through lost connections —
________________________________________
We were…
once close enough
to feel each other’s breath
in the quiet
now—
there’s distance
not just miles
but moments
we can’t get back
time…
slipping through our hands
like water we tried
so hard to hold
… ❤️ 🌊 ❤️ …
And still—
love doesn’t leave
it lingers
steady
stubborn
alive
our souls—
somehow still
in rhythm
even now
your eyes—
I remember them
how they sparkled
like they knew something
the world didn’t
… ❤️ 🌊 ❤️ …
We laughed…
God, we laughed
at nothing
at everything
at the little things
that only made sense
to us
your quirks
my flaws
they fit
like pieces
that didn’t belong anywhere else
… ❤️ 🌊 ❤️ …
And now—
I miss
what isn’t here anymore
not just you
but us
the version of us
that felt
unbreakable
… ❤️ 🌊 ❤️ …
Now I ask…
why?
why aren’t we one?
why does something so real
become
so distant
… ❤️ 🌊 ❤️ …
No answers
just questions
echoing
across the space
between us
like two hearts
still beating
but separated
by an ocean
… ❤️ 🌊 ❤️ …

Two hearts stand apart, divided by distance yet bound by love. Across the ocean of time and memory, echoes of laughter remain, reminding us that some connections never truly fade.
