A Light After Years of Silence

To My Beloved 2026/03/15

For years, I lived alone. It was not that I rejected love; I had simply grown used to solitude. My days were quiet and calm, yet they carried a quiet emptiness. I convinced myself that this was enough, that I was content with the silence of my own thoughts until someone unexpectedly entered my life and changed everything.

She appeared like a gentle light in the darkness I had grown used to. Though I sometimes made her sad, she chose to stay. I often wondered if she might be happier elsewhere, while I could not escape the feeling that I was only a burden.

Yet even with my awkward words and endless questions, she listened with patience. Through her, I slowly realized that hope had never truly left me and for the first time in a long while, I no longer felt alone.
