Goodbye

I met you when I was falling apart

Empty rooms, a heavy heart

You spoke to me like I still mattered

Like I wasn’t already shattered

You stayed when everything was dark

You saw the good in all my scars

Somewhere between your words and mine

I crossed the line and called you “mine”

I never asked you to save my life

Just to stay, at least one more night

You felt like something rare and true

I didn’t know I’d lose you too

You left without a goodbye

No last word, no reason why

I thought I meant something to you

Guess I was wrong, guess you were through

You were special, you still are

Even now, even scarred

I’m learning how to let you go

Even if I don’t want to know

I searched for answers in the past

Every smile that couldn’t last

Trying to see what I couldn’t be

Or why you stopped choosing me

You walked away so quietly

Like losing you was easy

But you don’t know what it did to me

Loving you silently

Maybe I loved too deep, too fast

Maybe you weren’t meant to last

But leaving without a sound

Still hurts when you’re not around

You left without a goodbye

No closure, just an empty sky

I gave you parts I never lend

Thought you were more than just a friend

You were special, more than most

That’s the truth I’ll always hold

I’m learning how to move ahead

Even with the words we never said

I’m not angry, I’m just tired now

Of asking when, of asking how

Some nights I still say your name

But I don’t need you to stay the same

You came when I was at my worst

You left, but I survived the hurt

Maybe loving you was real

Even if it’s time to heal

You left without a goodbye

And I still don’t know the why

But I don’t need the answer now

I’m finding my own way out

You were special, that won’t fade

But I don’t live in yesterday

I’m letting go, step by step

Of what we were… and what we never had

I didn’t lose myself in you

I just forgot what I could do

You left without a goodbye

And I’m still here… still alive
