The Unexpected Guest Who Never Came

Today, I found myself staring at the empty sofa in our living room, thinking about all the times someone was supposed to come and just didn’t.
It’s funny how seats can hold so much hope and yet so much silence.
Sometimes in life, we're just waiting—for family visits, a call, or even a simple moment that never arrives.
In those quiet waits, my mind drifts to memories of laughter shared and moments missed.
The sofa stays there patiently, like me—holding space for what might have been.
