Our love was pure and innocent, resembling tales told by writers and poets. It filled me with beautiful dreams and a promising future. We spent a whole year appearing joyous to onlookers. However, after becoming so attached to him that I saw the world only through him, he abruptly disappeared without warning or explanation. I attempted to contact him repeatedly but found no trace of a response. The world seemed narrow despite its vastness, and I found refuge only in my Creator, praying day and night, hoping for news that would restore life's sparkle lost in separation. Oh, how harsh and weighty the days of separation are!
