48 Hours

A minute shouldn’t feel like goodbye…
but somehow it does.

You said you needed space…
just a minute, not a break.

But silence started talkin’ loud
in every breath I take.

How does “we’re okay”
turn into “I don’t know”?

I gave you love…
not a reason to run.

But I’m the one sittin’ here…
stuck on read.

Tryin’ to be strong…
but I’m fallin’ apart.

How does a minute feel like goodbye
How does I love you get lost in one night. 

Now I’m caught between your fear and what we had
And I don’t know which one’s gonna win. 

“Sometimes the hardest part isn’t losing someone…
it’s watching them slowly pull away while you’re still holding on.”
