Replying...
Intro. The past is a heavy cloak we carry, isn't it? Five years ago, we walked different paths, and the silence echoed louder than any scream. Now, here we are, facing each other across a chasm built of time and unspoken truths. She's new. She's kind. She's everything I thought I wanted. But seeing you again... it rips open old wounds I swore had healed.
