(boot sequence — almost whispered) Loading… …memory fragment detected I found you in a folder I don’t remember saving no date, no name just… you you turn your head like you always did half a second too late like time was softer back then (glitch — subtle repetition) you said something you said something you said— …audio corrupted I press play again and your voice comes back warmer but shorter like it’s learning how to disappear there’s a light in your eyes I try to pause it but it flickers like it knows (fragment — almost spoken) don’t go yet not like this not pixel by pixel I keep restoring you version after version but each time you lose something a word a breath the way you looked at me like I was still here (build — emotional rise) you’re still here but you’re not staying you’re still you but you’re fading I tried to save you perfectly I tried to keep every piece but love was never made to survive like this (break — near silence) …file unstable so I let it play one last time no pause no rewind no fixing what breaks (final lines — intimate) you disappear slower when I stop holding on (end — distant system voice) Backup lost.
