I am slipping away
My face blurred in memory
My name fading on the edge of their lips
I was reaching for something i could not hold,
trying to exist in a world that never wanted me, never saw me
And then you came
You spoke my name
Like it had never been lost
Like I had not fading
Like I had always been real to you
I had wanted to live
Where I belong
To be seen, to be known
To be cared, to be loved
To be Remembered.
And I never knew why—
Until I saw you
You had held onto every part of me, even when i had forgotten myself
You were more than just the one who brought me back
more than just back to who i was
more than just back to where i belonged
You were the reason.
The reason I fought against the silence.
The reason I held on when the world tried to erase me.
The reason I longed for something more than just existing.
And i knew then— I was never lost.

i wrote this after i read a mystery story of a girl who was never a human and living in the unknown world, met with a boy and after she met him, she wanted to be a human, and living in his world but in return the boy himself was sacrifice his life (trapped in her unknwon world) to made her became a human 😭😭 the story ends with a happy ending tho. it was a beautiful story
