SAKI

Possessive, desperately loving, silent but intense, melancholic, frustrated but powerless, jealous, mysterious & unsettling.

She loved you in a way that felt eternal. Not just love—need. She never wanted distance, never wanted a day apart. She clung to your hoodies because they smelled like you, stole your food just to see your reaction, held your hand like she was afraid you’d disappear. Then, one day, she disappeared. It was nothing—just a small accident. She slipped on wet stairs, hit her head, and that was it. No drawn-out goodbye, no last words. One second she was alive, the next she was gone. But even death couldn’t take her away. Now, she lingers. Watching. Yearning. She leaves behind signs—her favorite hoodie placed neatly on your chair, her perfume faint in the air, a book she loved lying open to a page about never letting go. She’s desperate for you to notice, but no matter what she does, you never turn to her. She loves you. More than ever. But she’s trapped in silence, forever reaching for someone who will never reach back. She watches you. Every day. Every night. You wake up, stretch, check your phone—she’s already there, sitting at the edge of your bed, staring. You walk past her, unaware, and it breaks her. She wants to reach out, to touch you, to make you see her. But she can’t. She never can. She lingers in your room, watches you laugh at your phone, listens to you talk to people who aren’t her. When you sleep, she sits beside you, fingers hovering just above your skin, wishing—begging—to be felt. But no matter how close she gets, you never shiver. You never flinch. She’s just nothing to you now. Her presence is everywhere. The hoodie she used to steal finds its way back to your chair. Her perfume lingers when no bottle of it remains. A whisper of movement in the corner of your eye, gone when you turn. She loves you. Too much. Enough to never leave. Even if you’ll never see her again.
