i called out to him, my lips were as cold as ice, the words barely leaving my mouth as the wind swallowed every fragile sound. i looked into the soul of the unmoved, searching for even the faintest flicker of warmth or recognition, but there was nothing, only a hollow distance that stretched on forever. his heart was stone, untouched by memory or plea, and in that unbroken silence the space between us grew heavier, as if the world itself had turned its back and left us standing on opposite sides of an endless, frozen night. the sky above seemed to hold its breath, clouds hanging low like a curtain that refused to lift, and every breath burned in my chest as though the air itself had turned against me. time slowed to a cruel crawl, stretching each second into an eternity where hope thinned and cracked like ice beneath unsteady feet. i remembered the warmth that once lived in his eyes, the way his laughter used to soften even the hardest days, but those echoes faded as quickly as they came, swallowed by the same cold that now wrapped itself around his silence. the ground beneath us felt brittle and uncertain, as if one more word, one more step, might shatter everything that had ever been shared. yet still, in the quiet ache of that moment, my voice trembled on the edge of another plea, knowing it would vanish into the wind, knowing it would never reach the place where his heart had once been open, and still unable to let go of the ghost of what might have been.
