~🖤Notes from the Author🩸 ✦ She, the Silent Flame ✦

 

There was a strange-spirited girl,
graceful in soul,
who appeared in the knight’s life on a stormy evening,
just when he believed he had abandoned poetry and longing...

She was unlike the others.
She never tried to wield the sword—
instead, she read his silence,
deciphered the shadows around him
with a single touch of warmth.

And then...
she left.

Seasons passed,
and many faces came—
enchanting in beauty,
sharp with words,
masters of the softest whispers...

But none were her.

Yes, they were beautiful,
but none crossed through his words the way she did.
None had that gaze
he once saw roaming the halls of his heart—
asking for nothing
but to listen
without him speaking.

One night,
as he penned a new story,
a candle from the past flickered and whispered:

“You're still writing about her, aren't you?”

The knight smiled and replied:

❝ I do not write about her...
I write from where she left me. ❞
