The separation seemed to magnify the essence of love, as if it were shimmering and sparkling in the very air I breathed.

Unable to bear the emptiness that consumed me, I surrendered to the restless energy coursing through my veins. Determined to find solace, I rose from my bed and retrieved a well-worn drawer, containing within it my artistic refuge: a sketchbook and a collection of pencils.
