Keeping her side of the bed untouched

Damp-haired in a navy sweater, he sits at a rain-speckled cafe table deep in the forest, a cold coffee before him, lost in absence.

The Story Behind This Image

The Empty Chair

The cafe sits at the forest's edge, where the trees lean close enough to drip onto the tables. He chose the corner seat โ€” their corner seat โ€” though tonight the chair opposite holds only rain. His navy sweater is speckled with drizzle; his damp hair falls forward as he stares past the camera, past everything.

Before him, a cold coffee sweats in its glass. He ordered two out of habit, then cancelled one, and the small humiliation of that sits with him like a third guest.

Tenderness in the Drizzle

Midnight in a forest is a loud kind of quiet. Rain ticks on the leaves; mist moves between the trunks like something searching. His hands rest on the wooden table, empty and still, the fingers of a man who has stopped checking his phone because there is nothing left to check for.

Missing her is not dramatic tonight. It is domestic: a cold coffee, a wet table, an empty chair pulled slightly out, as if she might still sit down.
