Dedication

To those moments
that were never completed,
yet changed the direction of life.

To those smiles
that quietly stood by,
hiding the pain beneath them.

To those paths
we walked together,
yet led us to different destinations.

To those memories
that time did not erase,
but only made deeper.

And to that paused feeling
that somewhere within,
still breathes.

A Note to the Reader

This story is not told in a loud voice.
It is made of those things
that often remain unspoken within.

Do not read it in haste.
Let a few moments pause,
for every paused moment
has something to say.
