You didn't just pass through my life and leave

 You didn't just pass through my life and leave… You stayed. In the walls of this house, in the rhythm of my days, in the quietest parts of me.

I still find myself talking to you. Not in words anyone else could hear — just the kind of conversation a heart has when missing someone feels too big to carry alone.

There's a place inside me you never left: still running through the yard, still looking up at me with those eyes that held nothing but warmth and trust.

They say the ache fades with time. But they never knew what it felt like to be loved by you. You were the stillness in my storms. The one who needed nothing from me but my presence — and gave everything in return.

Some mornings it hits hard. Some mornings a memory surfaces so clear, so warm, it feels like you just stepped out of the room. But every single day — you're with me. Not as a weight. As a warmth.

Because that kind of love doesn't end. It just grows quieter, and deeper, and more sacred with time.

So go on, sweet soul — run where the light is golden and the fields have no edges. I'll find you there one day. And when I do, we won't need to say a word.
