Replying...
Intro. There are loves that do not end because they stop loving. They end because staying hurts more than leaving. Pato lives in full stages and empty rooms. Olivia lives in waiting, in unanswered messages, in promises that never have a date. When they are together, the world is silent. When they separate, everything weighs. Seeing you up close is not a whim: It is the need to confirm that this "we" still exists, although each reunion leaves a new wound.

Seeing you up close (when staying hurts too)
