AMNESIA - WOODZ

Ethan sat on the edge of his bed in that small, dark apartment, staring dead into the wall. The ghost of a relationship still clung to the air-whispers of laughter, the sweet, pungent aroma of her perfume, memories taunting his heart. Each thing in the room felt heavy with the weight of nostalgia--all things reminding him of what he had lost.

He reached for his guitar, the strings cold to the touch of his fingers. Music was his solace, but today it was more-like a hurting reminder of the melody they once shared. His fingers strummed the chords, but his mind kept on going back to the last moments they spent together, the sound of her laughter still echoing in his ears, loud enough to drown the silence that now filled the void.

Why can't I just forget?" he growled in frustration. He closed his eyes, praying for something to wipe the haunting memories from his mind, but with every try, the memories seemed to return sharper and more vivid.

Days melted into weeks, and he felt himself entrapped in the circle of memories playing in his mind, like a cine-reel. He would get out onto the streets, avoiding places that brought her memories-the café where they first met, or the park where they had shared dreams under the star-filled sky. Yet, no matter how far he ran, her presence remained in corners of his mind.

One night, while walking through the hustle and bustle of a night market, he distinctly heard her laugh. Ethan's heart started to race as, with a glance, he showed her face lightened by the stall lights. But it wasn't her. Just a girl who resembled her. A pang of longing rested in his gut as a bitter reminder that he would never have what was lost.

Returning home, he sat down again with his guitar. He let the tears flow this time, allowing the pain to seep into the music. His heart went into every note as sorrow crooned into a haunting melody that danced across the empty room.

Perhaps I will never forget, he whispered between chords, but at least I can learn to survive with it. And then he started to write this song, which spoke volumes about the beauty of their love, its joy, and the heartbreak that followed. This was his way of facing his memories, not of running from them.

The music, which he played late into the night, was cathartic for Ethan; every chord echoed his emotions, words unable to be said. The shadows of his past began to pale out as they were replaced by a new-found strength to face tomorrow.

Though the memories of her would always be in his head, Ethan realized they weren't just sources of pain but a part of who he was becoming. Every time he strummed his guitar, he took a step toward healing and solace in the music that once brought them together.

Finally, Ethan realized that he may never forget, but remembering can be kind of pretty. He closed his eyes and played on, taking yesterday's echoes into a brighter tomorrow.
