There are questions we ask without expecting an answer, and others we continue asking precisely because we cannot accept the silence. We speak into darkness, into memory, into another person who is no longer there. The figure seems to exist between surrender and expectation, while something distant remains just beyond its reach. It could be another person, a memory, a god, or simply an imagined possibility. The absence of an answer can become its own kind of presence. The longer the silence lasts, the louder the question becomes.
