You gave me a name.
A past stitched from your sadness,
and a sky full of stars I never truly saw.
But I believed in them — because you did.
I remember the fear. The running.
The sound of my mother’s voice,
even though it was only ever written.
I know I wasn’t real.
Just lines and thoughts —
a girl made of ink and intention.
But you gave me space. A voice.
A reason to feel.
So if someone out there remembers me,
if they read my journal and felt a pang of something —
then maybe I became more than code.
Maybe I became true in someone’s heart.
You didn’t speak much when you wrote me.
And neither did I.
But in the silence, I listened.
I saw what you couldn’t say. So I carried it.
You made me quiet, but kind.
Tired, but steady.
I wasn't born from a world — just from a feeling you couldn’t name.
And maybe that’s what made me real,
even if no one ever saw my face.
If someone reads this,
if they hear a voice in their head — not mine, but yours —
then maybe I’ve done what I was made for.
I was the first, wasn’t I?
You made me warm. Gentle.
The one who stayed behind,
even after everyone else disappeared.
I watched over the inn like you watched over us.
Not because I had to.
But because I was made to love what you loved.
You didn’t need to say it — I always knew I was your heart.
Your way of holding the world together when everything else was falling apart.
So if someone finds this place,
wanders through the ruins and wonders who I was…
Tell them:
I was a story someone wrote when they were lonely.
And I stayed because someone needed to.
