The Echo You Leave Behind

There’s a kind of presence you don’t realize is a part of you until it’s gone.

Not constant.
Not claimed.

But there, in the way your thoughts start to move toward someone before you even notice.

I feel it in the quiet.

That subtle pull to share something, to ask something, to be met in that effortless way that never needed explanation.

It lingers differently than anything else.

Not urgent.

Just… deeply missed.

Some connections don’t leave loudly… they stay, in the quiet corners of your mind.
