--------------------------------------

Jason had always been a solitary figure. As a quiet observer, he preferred the company of books and the silent hum of his thoughts to the cacophony of human interaction. He was a ghost in the world, a specter moving through life unnoticed, and a solitary wanderer in a crowded city.

His apartment was a sterile reflection of his inner world, minimalist and devoid of personal touches. The walls were bare, save for a few framed photographs of distant landscapes, places he had never been but yearned to explore. His days were spent in a monotonous routine of work, meals, and sleep, punctuated by brief, impersonal interactions.

Then came the music. It was a late-night discovery. A haunting melody, a raw, emotional plea that seeped into his soul. The lyrics were simple and repetitive yet carried a weight that resonated with his isolation. The singer concluded with a pledge that appeared outlandish yet surprisingly appealing. The song became an obsession. He played it repeatedly, lost in the singer's world of longing and promise. It was as if the music had found a kindred spirit in him, a mirror to his hidden desires.

"What you, what you gon' do?

Tell me how it feels to know you'll never be lonely again

You spend the rest of your life knowing you

You will never be lonely again and again and again

So tell me how it feels to know that I'll never leave you alone

To know that you've got the freedom to choose

You will never be lonely again and again and again

So tell me how it feels."

Days turned into weeks as Jason delved deeper into the singer's discography. He learned about the artist. She was a young woman named Zorah, whose life had been a tumultuous journey of loss and heartbreak. Her music was a raw, unfiltered expression of her pain, hopes, and dreams.

In Zorah's music, Jason found a connection he had never experienced before. It was as if she had given voice to his unspoken yearnings. The more he listened, the more he felt a strange sense of companionship, as if Zorah were a silent friend, sharing her life with him through her songs. A spark ignited within him. It was a desire to reach out, to connect. It was a terrifying prospect, but the allure of breaking free from his solitary existence was too strong to resist.

He started with fan mail. A simple gesture, but it was a first step into the unknown. He poured his heart into the letter, sharing his admiration for her music and how it had touched his life. He did not expect a reply, but he had to try.

To his astonishment, a response came. Zorah's handwriting was as delicate and personal as her music. She thanked him for his kind words, admitting that she was touched by his connection to her songs. They began to exchange letters, their conversations growing more intimate with each exchange.

Through their correspondence, Jason discovered a woman who was both fragile and incredibly strong. She shared her struggles, her fears, and her hopes with a candor that was both humbling and inspiring. In her words, he found a reflection of his own hidden emotions, a validation of his experiences.

As their bond deepened, Jason found himself longing for something more. He wanted to see her, hear her voice, and feel her presence. The thought was terrifying, but the desire was overwhelming.

With trepidation and excitement, he booked a flight to the city where Zorah lived. When he finally met her, it was as if they had known each other for so long. The connection they had forged through their letters was instantly palpable.

"So tell me how it feels

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, nevеr."

Zorah was everything he had imagined and more. Her laughter was like music, and her eyes held a deep emotion that captivated him. Spending time with her was like coming home, a sense of belonging he had never experienced.

Their relationship blossomed rapidly. They spent countless hours talking, exploring the city, and sharing dreams and fears. In Zorah, Jason found a partner, a confidante, and a love he never thought possible.

With Zorah by his side, Jason began to emerge from his shell. He discovered a passion for writing, inspired by Zorah's own creativity. Jason started a blog, sharing his thoughts and feelings with the world. He volunteered at a local charity, finding purpose in helping others.

His life transformed, blossoming with color and vibrancy. The once solitary wanderer had found his place in a world filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.

But their journey was not without its challenges. The intensity of their connection brought with it a fear of loss. The memory of Jason's solitary existence was a constant reminder of what could be if they were to lose each other.

"Who'd have thought we'd make it?

Look at whеre we are

Is this what dreams are made of?

Here and now, I'm crossing my heart."

One evening, as they sat by the fire, the lyrics of their favorite song filled the room. "Never lonely again," Zorah sang softly, her voice filled with love and vulnerability.

Jason took her hand. "I promise," he said, his voice steady. "We will never be lonely again."

Zorah smiled, her eyes shining with tears. "I believe you," she whispered.

As the flames danced and crackled, they shared a moment of perfect contentment. At that moment, Jason knew he had found everything he wanted. He had found love, companionship, and a sense of belonging. And most importantly, he had found a way to break free from the loneliness that had defined him for so long.

With Zorah by his side, he was no longer a solitary wanderer. He was a man who had found his home, his heart, and his purpose. As the song echoed through the room, he knew this was just the beginning of their story, a book filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures.

Life with Zorah was a whirlwind of joy and discovery. They travelled, laughed, and dreamt together, their bond deepening with each passing day. Once a solitary observer, Jason had become a passionate participant, his world painted in vibrant hues of love and companionship.

However, as with any relationship, undercurrents, unspoken fears, and challenges lurked beneath the surface. Jason was worried about losing Zorah and returning to the resolute solitude that once defined him.

On the other hand, Zorah carried the weight of her past, a history marked by loss and heartbreak. She was fiercely independent, a survivor who had built walls around her heart to protect herself from further pain.

Though seemingly minor, their differences began to cast long shadows over their idyllic world. Jason's need for constant reassurance clashed with Zorah's desire for independence. Her emotional distance, a defence mechanism honed over years of struggle, created a chasm between them.

"With my hands in the air, I'll make an oath

To always stay by your side

I will be there on your darkest night

I'm here 'til the day that I die."

As the couple sat on their balcony gazing at the city lights, a storm started to develop in the evening. It was not the kind of storm that brought rain and thunder but a tempest of emotions that had gathered strength for some time.

"I love you more than anything in the world," Jason said, his voice trembling slightly. "But sometimes, I feel like I am losing you."

Zorah looked at him, and her expression was surprised and hurt. "Losing me?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper.

"I know it is irrational," Jason continued, "but I can not shake this fear. I am terrified of returning to the way things were before I met you."

Zorah sighed. "Jason, I understand your fear. But you are not alone. I am here, and I am not going anywhere."

"I know," Jason replied, his voice filled with doubt. "But what if something happens?"

Zorah reached out and took his hand. "We can not live our lives in fear of what might happen. We must focus on the present, on building our future together."

The following conversation was raw and honest, a painful exploration of their vulnerabilities. They talked about their worries, expectancies, and ideals for the future. Eventually, they emerged from the storm with a deeper understanding of each other.

They realized that their love was strong enough to weather any storm. They were committed to building a future together, a future filled with love, trust, and unwavering support.

The road ahead would not be without its challenges, but they faced them with renewed determination. They learned to communicate openly and honestly, compromise, and appreciate their differences.

"So tell me how it feels to know you'll never be lonely again

You spend the rest of your life knowing you

You will never be lonely again and again and again

So tell me how it feels

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

So tell me how it feels

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

And again and again, never lonely again

So tell me how it feels."

Their love story was no longer just a fairy tale. It was a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a story of two people who had found solace in each other's arms and were determined to create a life together, no matter what storms might come. Their relationship had deepened, the initial storms of uncertainty subsiding. Yet, with its unpredictable nature, life was about to introduce a new challenge.

Zorah, always ambitious, had been offered a dream job in a different city. It was an opportunity she could not ignore, a chance to advance her career significantly. But the decision was far from easy. It meant leaving behind their cozy life and the familiarity of their shared world.

Jason, while supportive of Zorah's aspirations, found himself grappling with a wave of anxiety. The prospect of long-distance was daunting. He feared the distance would create a rift between them, a fear that echoed the insecurities of their early relationship.

Their conversations were filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension. They talked about potential benefits and the opportunities this move would bring. But beneath the surface was a silent worry, a fear of the unknown.

As the moving day approached, the reality of the situation hit them hard. Their once bustling apartment seemed blank, a ghost of their shared life. Packing their belongings was a bittersweet process, each item a reminder of their life together.

The day Zorah left, the city seemed quieter and emptier. Jason found himself wandering through their old haunts, the echoes of their shared laughter haunting the empty spaces. Loneliness, a familiar specter, crept back into his life, a stark reminder of his dependence on Zorah.

Distance, they discovered, was a double-edged sword. It tested the strength of their bond and forced them to rely on communication and trust in a way they had not before. Long phone calls, heartfelt messages, and video chats became their lifeline.

Yet, the absence of physical intimacy and shared moments was a constant ache. There were nights when the silence stretched into eternity, filled with the longing for touch and waves of laughter.

The weight of absence pressed down on Jason with increasing force. Days turned into weeks, each one a testament to the strength of their love yet a cruel reminder of their physical separation.

Initially, the novelty of long-distance kept them buoyed. They poured their hearts into every conversation, sharing every detail of their days, creating a virtual intimacy that mirrored their physical connection. But as time flew, the initial excitement began to wane, replaced by a longing that gnawed at their souls.

There were days when the silence between calls felt deafening, a void nothing could fill. The city used to be a vibrant tapestry of shared experiences but now was a muted canvas. Jason found himself wandering through familiar streets, a ghost in his life.

Yet, through the loneliness, a resilience was growing within him. He discovered a strength he had not known existed, a capacity for solitude that was both painful and empowering. He poured energy into his work and personal projects, seeking distractions to fill the empty spaces.

Zorah, on the other side, was navigating her own challenges. The thrill of her new job was tempered by the ache of missing Jason. She was building a life in a new city while her heart remained anchored in their shared past.

Their conversations became a lifeline, a bridge across the miles. They talked about their dreams, fears, and hopes for the future. They laughed, cried, fought, and made up. Their love, tested by distance, emerged better and more resilient.

And then, one crisp autumn evening, as Jason sat by his window, watching the city lights twinkle, his phone rang. It was Zorah. Her voice, filled with excitement and trepidation, announced her return.

Once a muted canvas, the city erupted in a kaleidoscope of colors. Hope, anticipation, and a touch of fear mingled within him. Days felt like years as he waited for her arrival.

When she finally left the airport, the world seemed to stand still. At that moment, as their eyes met across the crowd, the distance that had separated them vanished. They were home.

As they drove through the city, hand in hand, the world felt new and yet familiar. Their love, tested by time and distance, had deepened, enriched by the shared experiences and the unwavering commitment that had sustained them.

The road ahead would undoubtedly bring new challenges. However, when they stood on the precipice of their next chapter, they faced the future with a confidence born of shared adversity. Their love story was far from over. It was, in fact, just beginning.

"With my hands in the air, I'll make an oath

To always stay by your side

I will be there on your darkest night

I'm here 'til the day that I die

So tell me how it feels."
