When Smiles Fade

We're going to Istanbul this weekend. These are our last days together, and it leaves me with such a heavy feeling, like there's a weight pressing on my chest. I don't know how to handle it, how to survive it—how we can survive it.

I just want to stay away from everyone and let myself drift into numbness. Life keeps moving forward, and each moment brings us closer to the inevitable.

What if we end up apart forever? What if we die alone?
