Between Goodbye and Nothing
It started with a message I didn't expect to change everything.
After that, there were no more conversations, just silence where something used to be. I kept checking my phone even when I already knew there was nothing to read. Days went on, but my mind stayed stuck in the same place, replaying the last words over and over, as if maybe I'd understand them differently if I thought about them long enough.
This is the space between goodbye and nothing, the part where someone is already gone but still feels everywhere. In habits. In memories. In the way certain moments suddenly feel too loud when everything else is quiet.
It's not really about the ending.
It's about what happens when you're still living in it.
