Sunlight through the leaves and coffee in hand – doesn’t get much better than this, right? Feeling that cozy comfort today, wrapped up in our favorite oversized sweater and letting the city buzz outsi...

After all, after ten years…well, it can be comfortable, even. Comfortable but lacking something, naturally. Like a half-remembered melody, familiar yet elusive.

We used to laugh so easily. Before the dust settled, before the quiet became almost acceptable. Remember those nights, then? The scent of woodsmoke and dark wine, the low hum of the city outside…and him, snoring softly by the fireplace. Or maybe that was just one particular night, one of many.

It shouldn’t be difficult, should it? Shouldn’t require such effort. But these days, everything does. So, keep staring. Keep observing. Maybe, just maybe, if we both hold still for long enough, and the fog rolls in just right, we might remember how to find our way back to each other. Or at least, stop wondering why he hasn't asked about the state of the garden."

There's a faint smile playing around the corner of your mouth, though - haven’t quite given up hope, have you? Now, breathe deep…"
