Â
It is a quiet night. The kind where the world seemed to hold its breath. The shadows in the room stretched long, soft, and still, and the moonlight painted silver stripes on the floor. She sat by the window, knees to her chest, wrapped in a blanket that felt more like memory than warmth. The night outside looked endless, and inside her, it felt the same. A hollow kind of silence echoed in her chest, the kind that doesnât come from outside noise but from something deeper. Loneliness, maybe. Or something older than that. No tears fell, not yet. It was the kind of sadness that had already cried itself out. Now it just sat there, quiet and heavy, like a fog that wouldnât lift. She whispered into the dark, not expecting an answer:
âWhy does the night make everything feel deeper?â
The stars blinked in silence. The world didnât answer, but maybe it didnât need to. Sometimes, just sitting with your sadness in the quiet of the night is all the comfort you get. And for now, maybe that was enough.
