~ Memories… ~ 
☆
They sat across from each other—two islands, separated by an ocean of unspoken years.
“My claim is simple,” she began, her gaze steady yet fragile, “Memories are mine alone—my only true inheritance.”
A small, almost nonchalant smile touched his lips.
“I agree.”
Her breath caught. “So easily you agree? Not once has any of my memories strayed into your nights? Melted the frost you carry inside? Stirred the still waters where you hide your storms?”
He looked away, as if searching for words not yet born.
“Memories,” he said slowly, “are newborns of the past.
And those who have lived entirely in the now…
who have never let the past plant its roots…
what claim could they have to such an inheritance?”
Silence swelled between them.
It carried the weight of what was said—
and the heavier weight of what remained unsaid.
From both ends of that silence… came the enigmatic sighs.
