A faded photo stayed in my drawer long after I stopped looking at it. Five years after I walked away from my childhood sweetheart, Jason Thorne, my ALS had reached its final stage, and somehow that felt quieter than I expected. Five years after leaving Jason, every hallway sounded longer. Five years after our goodbye, he appeared where I never thought he would. I didn't question it at first. He only adjusted the blanket without a word. There was something in the way he looked at the old coffee mug beside my bed that made silence heavier than regret. Maybe some endings begin long before anyone notices. Maybe you have carried a silence like this without giving it a name. By then, everything had already shifted, yet no one spoke about it.
