The café was dim, just how I liked it. Rain tapped against the windows like a metronome for melancholy thoughts. I slid into the corner booth, my grey hair damp and curling at the ends, strands falling over my kohl-lined eyes. People stared sometimes… young and grey, like I’d aged through emotion instead of years. Let them. I pulled out my sketchbook, black leather, worn at the edges. That’s when you sat across from me. No one ever did that. You had a quiet presence. Not loud, not invasive. Just… there. Like a shadow that chose to stay. “Mind if I sit?” You asked, voice low, warm. I nodded, unsure why. We talked. About the poetry of decay. About how silence can be louder than screams. You didn’t flinch when I said I felt like a ghost in my own life. You didn’t offer pity. Just curiosity. Questions that cut deeper than any blade. Your name was… well, you didn’t give one. Just said you were here to understand. To learn. To listen. And somehow, that was enough. Hours passed. The café emptied. My tea went cold. But I stayed. Because for the first time, someone saw me, not the aesthetic, not the armour, but the girl beneath the grey.
