Pavane

* “You could’ve just walked “ * This line feels less like a comment and more like a promise. A soft reassurance that they would wait forever if needed. What stays with me is the irony that he never does walk, even when he knows he could. Even when trust should make it easier. Because knowing someone will be there doesn’t erase the doubt of what if. Sometimes belief isn’t enough to calm that instinct to run. So instead of the endings the protagonist offered and reality told us, Id like to imagine something else: not a loss, nor an unimaginably happy ending, only time. A scenario where he takes the longer way to her and just walks.
