The season changed so slowly that I didn’t notice.
The city’s name, once clear in my mind, became a sound I couldn’t hold onto.
But the wind—it stayed.
It moved like gentle hands, slipping between my clothes and skin, leaving soft trails inside my memory.
She stood there.
The wind caught her hair, lifting it into the golden light.
She leaned a little into the breeze, her back warm against the falling sun.
Behind her, the city was wrapped in the last light of the day.
I had a camera in my hands, but taking a picture wasn’t the reason.
I just wanted to stay—right there, inside that quiet, waiting moment.
“The day’s final light traveled across her back.”
She didn’t turn around.
Her eyes stayed far beyond the rooftop’s edge, looking into a place I couldn’t see.
She stood slightly off to the side, as if she was part of something I could only almost reach.
I stayed too, my hands loose around the camera, my breath slowing, trying not to break the soft space between us.
Through the lens, the world around her turned blurry.
But she stayed clear—her hair moving in the wind, her body still.
I slowed the shutter, letting the air leave small signs on the strands of her hair.
I didn’t want to trap her inside a frame.
I wanted to show how she was always just a little beyond it.
“Wherever her hair moved, the light followed.”
When I pressed the shutter, it wasn’t to take something away.
It was to stay a little longer inside the soft, weightless moment before it slipped away.
She stepped out of the frame.
And with her, the city’s light faded too.
The cold touched my skin, but my feet stayed still.
Something unseen still held me where she had been.
She didn’t leave emptiness behind.
She left a space full of something heavy and soft, like breath you can feel but not catch.
Even now, when the world goes dark and I close my eyes, I can still feel her there—
the way the air moved where she stood,
the way the light curved around her absence.
She didn’t just walk away.
She became a poster in my heart.
