WHISPERS OF THE HEART part 2

"There are moments that stay with you, even when you try to let them go. Words spoken in the quiet, glances exchanged when no one is looking. I don’t know why I write this—maybe to remember, maybe to understand. Or maybe, because the feelings are too much to carry alone."

She came back last night. I didn’t realize how much I had missed her until she was right in front of me again, her presence filling the space like she had never left. We talked for hours—about everything, about nothing. She told me her story, one that made my heart ache in ways I couldn’t describe. She had been hurt before. A victim of something cruel and undeserved. I saw the way her voice changed when she spoke about it, the way her eyes darkened just slightly, as if she was reliving it all over again.

I wanted to say something—anything—to take that pain away. But what do you say to someone who has already learned to live with their scars? Then it was my turn. I told her my story, the things I had done, the mistakes I had made in the name of love. But she didn’t see it the way I did. She got mad—angry in a way I wasn’t expecting. Her voice was sharp, her expression unreadable. I had never seen her like that before. She said she hated it, hated what I had done. She wanted to hit me. And for a second, I almost wished she had, because maybe that would have been easier than the look she gave me.

Then the call for prayers came. Afterward, she told me she had calmed down. And then, just like that, she held my hand. The same hands that wanted to push me away were now holding me still, grounding me. We walked together to the gate, where she had to leave. It was quiet, but I could feel everything in that silence.

Later that night, we spoke on the phone for hours. I don’t know why I said it, or why I couldn’t hold it back any longer. But the words slipped out. "I love you." She went silent.

For the first time, she had no words. I caught her off guard, and for a moment, I wondered if I had just ruined everything. But then, she asked me to send her pictures. Maybe she missed me but didn’t want to say it out loud. Maybe she just wanted to see me to make sense of what I had said. I don’t know what this is between us. I don’t know if she’s holding back, if she’s scared, if she’s unsure. But I do know this—I can’t stop falling. And I don’t know if I want to.
