Echo 6 – What He Never Confessed

Echoes from Unrequited Love

---

There were words Pawan had never said aloud.

They lived in notebooks.

On margins of old books.

In lines written and crossed out again.

He had learned to speak to paper,

because paper never asked questions.

---

---

He wrote her name once.

Then stopped.

Folded the page.

Tore it out.

Some confessions felt heavier when written than when carried inside.

If he said it,

it would become real.

If he kept it,

it would remain safe.

So he chose silence again - 

not because he lacked words,

but because words change things.

---

---

He closed the notebook.

The room returned to stillness.

Some truths are never spoken - 

not because they are untrue,

but because they are too true to risk losing.

---

✨ Closing Line

Some confessions remain  

unspoken to protect what silence 

has kept intact.
