Her

I still walk past places we never went

But I imagine us there, like it’s something you meant

Your name in my inbox, like a ghost on my screen

I don’t press send, but I still write the thing —

I remember your laugh in the quietest rooms

Like perfume I can't wear without thinking of you

You faded so slowly, I didn’t even fight —

I just held on in silence, too tired to write

You said you're not good with words

But silence can hurt just the same

I read between the lines —

And still didn’t learn how to let go

I wish us to be in each other’s forever

But you buried it deep like it didn’t matter

You found freedom in forgetting —

While I kept every little thing

And I know it's been years, I should be better

But the past still fits me like a favorite sweater

You moved on with grace, I stayed behind

Wearing memories you left in my mind

I replay the night you asked “Do you Love me?”

Like a movie I swore was reality

You let me in then locked the door

I’m still standing outside, waiting for more

The ice cream, the songs, that old favourite chocolate bar

You let them dissolve without saying goodbye

They say dreams are just echoes of joy

But yours always feel like a goodbye disguised…

You said you weren’t built for long goodbyes

But you left me with questions that never die

And I try to convince myself —

That you don’t think of me at all…

I wished us to be in each other’s forever

But you buried it deep like it didn’t matter

You found freedom in forgetting

While I stitched every word you left me

And maybe to you, it was all just a phase

But I kept holding on in quiet ways

You outgrew the weight, I wore it like skin

You chose to heal, I chose to begin…

I don’t blame you for wanting light

But I wish you had said goodbye right

No soft confession, no last embrace —

Just your shadow fading into space…

I wished us to be in each other’s forever

But forever, to you, meant “never say never”

You found freedom in walking away

While I begged time to let me stay

And it’s okay, I’ll be okay

Some stories end without a say

But if I meant even a flicker of light

I hope you remember me on quiet nights…

I still love the version of you I knew

Even if she doesn’t remember me too

You found freedom, I found the cost

In loving someone who knew how to get lost…
