You came to me when i was half-ghost, all quiet and waiting. no one else saw me the way you did— like i was still here, like i still mattered. i was cold, but you didn’t flinch. you just reached out, like you had touched loss before and knew it wouldn't bite. we didn’t need words. just breath. just space. just a moment to be real before the world pulled us apart. and even if you fade too, i’ll remember how your shadow made room for my light. ![[IMG_0587.jpeg]]
