In this world of endless possibilities, the thought of not having you by my side feels like a daunting journey I'm hesitant to embark upon. It's not that I can't navigate life without you; I probably could, but I'm afraid to even contemplate it. Instead, I often find myself retracing steps in time, searching for the right words, seeking that familiar path that could guide me back to the warmth and love within your heart.

Your image remains etched in my mind—the way you peacefully slept beside me. Your rhythmic breathing, the gentle rise and fall of your chest, painted a portrait of tranquility.
I recall your words—falling asleep cradled in the safest embrace, in the company of the safest soul was the most comforting feeling.

Time remains steadfast, unyielding to our desires to rewind its course. Gratitude fills my heart for the moments we shared, ones that endure eternally. I won't say thank you, for my love for you was woven into every breath I took, and it lingers still, dearer to me than words can express.
