THE LAST CIGARETTE

Maybe the last cigarette is never really about nicotine.

Maybe it’s about the pause between chaos and silence. The one thing your hands knew how to hold when your heart had nowhere to go.

People talk about quitting like letting go is simple. But some things stay with us not because they’re good, but because they stayed when everything else left.

The last cigarette burns slowly. Not because time stops, but because memories do.

And maybe that’s why people struggle to put it out — because sometimes the smoke feels lighter than the weight of everything unsaid.
