📖 Echo 9: The Weight of What Was Never Said

Echoes from Unrequited Love

---

---

Time had moved forward.

Classes ended.

Seasons shifted.

Conversations became fewer.

But silence did not disappear.

It gathered.

Layer by layer.

Like dust no one noticed settling.

---

---

There were so many sentences that never crossed his lips.

Simple ones.

“I like talking to you.”

“Stay a little longer.”

“Don’t misunderstand my silence.”

Each unsaid word felt light at first.

Until they began to accumulate.

He realized something slowly - 

It wasn’t rejection that weighed on him.

It was restraint.

---

---

Babli had stopped asking questions.

He had stopped pretending he would answer them someday.

What was never said did not vanish.

It remained.

Not as regret.

Not as anger.

But as weight.

A quiet one.

---

Closing Line

The heaviest burdens are often 

the words we chose not to speak.
