An Incomplete Sentence

 I came across a few photos taken years ago.

It was one of those quiet moments—when time feels distant, yet everything returns all at once.

I remember capturing him from behind. He looked beautiful in a long white shirt, draping softly along his frame. There was something unspoken in that moment—something I didn’t fully understand back then, but somehow managed to keep through a single image.

I remember fragments of our long conversations—the kind that never seemed to find a full stop. They stretched endlessly, flowing from one thought to another, as if silence was never meant to exist between us.

I studied the photo closely, tracing every fold of fabric resting around his neck. I know that shape by heart, because that was how he used to speak to me—with the fabric falling loosely from his neck to his shoulders, as if even the smallest details chose to stay.

Years have passed, and we are now far apart. It would take more than a day just to meet again. And yet, something about it feels strange. I find myself missing our conversations, even though we still make time to exchange messages every night.

But it doesn’t feel the same.

It doesn’t feel like ordinary messages. It feels like a sentence that has lost its words—an incomplete one. Something is missing, though I cannot always name it.

I miss the wholeness of a sentence—the kind that once rested perfectly in its place. Effortless. Whole. Ours.

Maybe, if he reads this, he will know.

I wrote it for him.
