I don’t talk about you anymore,
but somehow, every silence speaks your name.
I loved you not for a moment,
not because I needed someone,
but because my heart chose you
before I even knew what love meant.
Now, your absence sits beside me
like a shadow that never leaves.
I smile when people ask if I’m okay,
while inside, I’m still learning
how to live without you.
I don’t hate you for leaving.
How could I hate the person
I once prayed would stay forever?
Maybe you found happiness somewhere else,
and maybe I lost mine when you left.
But I finally understand
losing you doesn’t mean losing myself.
You were a chapter I wanted to last forever,
but some stories end before we’re ready.
And if my broken heart could speak now,
it wouldn’t ask you to come back.
It would simply say
I loved you with everything I had.
You were once my home,
but now, I’m learning to be my own.
but somehow, every silence speaks your name.
