In the Blink of an Eye

We laughed in languages only we knew,

Built castles from secrets,

Shared storms and sunrises

Like we were infinite.

You once said,

“Some bonds are unbreakable.”

And I believed you,

Until the silence crept in.

No warnings, no thunder.

Just distance

Woven into your voice,

Strangeness in your eyes.

I searched for the why…

But hearts don’t send memos

Before they change course.

Sometimes love

Doesn’t shatter,

It fades.

Quietly.

In the blink of an eye.
