If life ever gave us one last moment face to face, I don't think I would ask for explanations anymore. I would simply look down, smile a little, and say... thank you, and I'm sorry.
Sorry for the times I held on when should have let go.
Sorry for loving you in ways that may have become too heavy for your heart.
Sorry if my feelings stayed long after yours had already faded.
And thank you...
For once making me feel chosen
For the laughter that used to feel endless.
For the memories that still visit me in the quietest hours of the night.
You didn't just leave. A part of me stayed with you too.
We never really said goodbye. We just became silence to each other, little by little, until silence was all that remained
Now I carry everything alone, the love
that still softens my heart, and the pain that never fully learned how to leave.
