The stage is softly lit, with the speaker holding a photograph, gazing at it with a mixture of sorrow and strength. Her voice is steady, filled with a quiet resilience.

Love was supposed to be forever, but forever is a concept that changes with time. When I first met him, everything felt eternal. Our laughter, our dreams, our whispered secrets—they were all meant to last. But life, in its unpredictable way, had other plans.

Change crept in, slowly at first, then all at once. He grew distant, and I felt myself drifting, too. We tried to hold on, but sometimes love isn’t enough to fight against the tides of time and circumstance. Then, came the hardest change of all—death. It took him away, leaving a void so deep I thought I’d never find my way out.

But in the wake of his loss, I discovered something profound. Love doesn’t die with the person. It changes, it evolves. His memory lives on in the way I smile at old photos, the way I cherish every moment, knowing how fleeting they are. His death taught me to embrace life, to accept that change is the only constant, and that love, in all its forms, is eternal.

So here I stand, a testament to love’s endurance and the inevitable changes life brings. I will carry him with me, in every breath, in every heartbeat, and in every new love that comes my way. Because love, true love, never really dies—it simply transforms.
