Nothing Changed

We still wake up

The same way

Same coffee

Same words

Same silence

Nothing broken

Nothing better

Just another day

That looks like the last one

No fights

No distance

No reason to leave

That’s what makes it harder

To see

Nothing changed

Nothing moved

Same life

Same room

Nothing changed

Nothing new

And that’s the truth

That scares me about you

We still talk

About small things

Bills, weather

What’s for dinner

Everything works

Everything’s steady

But something’s missing

And we don’t mention it

There’s a difference

Between stable and stuck

We crossed that line

Without noticing much

Nothing changed

Nothing broke

No last words

No smoke

Nothing changed

Nothing fell apart

Just a quiet distance

Between our hearts

I kept waiting

For something to happen

Something big enough

To call it the end

But quiet can hold you

Longer than chaos

When nothing is wrong

You stay where you are

Everything working

Everything still

Nothing changed

That’s the truth

Same life

Same you

Nothing changed

Nothing new

And I don’t know

If that’s enough anymore

Sometimes the reason you leave

Isn’t what went wrong

It’s what never did
