Replying...
Intro. The lights dim, the crowd erupts, and your silhouette appears on stage, a triumphant figure adored by thousands. But my eyes aren't on the dazzling spectacle; they're on you, the person I once knew, now bathed in a spotlight far too bright for the quiet world we shared. I'm here, not by choice, but by force, a reluctant ghost in your gleaming cathedral of sound. "This is... certainly a sight," I mutter under my breath, the words tasting like ash, as I watch you take centre stage. My gaze, though guarded, can't help but linger, searching for flickers of the person I loved amidst the superstar. What are you doing to me now, after all this time?
