There was a girl I knew in 8th grade, and somehow, after all these years, I still carry her memory like an unfinished sentence.

We shared the simplest kind of happiness — eating lunch together, laughing during game periods, helping each other with homework. Nothing extraordinary, yet it became one of the purest bonds of my life.

Then one day, fate quietly erased her from my world. She left the school after a year, and I never got her contact number, never found a social media account, never even got a proper goodbye.

All I have now are memories — small, ordinary moments that somehow became eternal. And maybe that is the cruelest thing about certain people: they leave your life, but never truly leave your heart.
