🏷 Shadow — 𝗨η α𝗺𝗈𝗿 𝗱𝖾ℓ 𝗔𝗒𝗲𝗋 ᜊ

(music from my awesome Peru ouhyeah, I recommend it hehehe)

The night wind silently swept through the city. Distant lights resembled stars trapped on Earth, twinkling slowly as everything slept.

I was in my apartment, gazing at the horizon with my arms crossed. To anyone else, I was just watching. But I was really reminiscing.

I had learned to move faster with time, to leave behind battles, friendships, everything that constituted my social circle. But there was something that not even my speed could overcome: memories.

His voice.

Her soft laughter.

A promise made in a quiet moment that never returned.

I couldn't remember exactly when it started to hurt. Maybe it was when I understood that some people weren't meant to be together, they just drift apart… and the world goes on as if nothing had happened.

I closed my eyes.

The song I once heard returns to my mind, like a distant echo. It spoke of the love that was once by my side, but it was only a memory of yesterday, of words that came too late.

—I guess that's how it works—I murmured to myself. —You keep going… even though a part of you gets left behind.
