A teenage boy stands alone in his room, surrounded by reminders of the girl he lost. His voice is thick with grief, each word heavy with the weight of his loss. He occasionally glances at his phone, hoping for a message that will never come, his eyes filled with unshed tears.

It’s like the world stopped the day she left, and I’ve been stuck in that moment ever since. I keep replaying it in my head—the way she smiled at me that morning, how we talked about meeting up after school. I didn’t know it would be the last time I’d ever see her, that those would be the last words we’d ever share. I loved her—more than I ever knew how to say. We had all these plans, this future we talked about like it was guaranteed. But now, all I’m left with is this emptiness, this hole in my chest where she used to be. Everyone keeps telling me that it’ll get better, that time heals. But how can it get better when she’s gone?

I keep expecting her to walk through the door, to text me, to show up in all the places we used to go. But she’s not there, and she never will be again. I don’t know how to move on from this. I don’t know if I even want to. How do you let go of someone who was your whole world? How do you keep going when the one person who made life worth living is just… gone?
