Dear Someone: How can you haunt me without being here?

Echoes of longing when an unspoken silence lingers in the space between solitude and companionship, where your absence is a constant presence.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

In the quiet moments of my days, I find myself caught in a peculiar limbo. You're not here, yet you're everywhere. How is it possible that you've managed to strip away my solitude without offering the solace of companionship? It's as if you've left your imprint on every corner of my world, denying me the peace of being alone, yet withholding the comfort of your presence.

Do you realize the power you hold over my thoughts, even in your absence? Every place I go, every song I hear, every mundane task I perform - they all carry whispers of you. How did you manage to weave yourself so intricately into the fabric of my daily life? I find myself longing for the simplicity of true solitude, yet simultaneously aching for the fullness of your company.
