I don’t say

Yeah…

I don’t talk about it, I just carry it different,

Smile in the daylight, nights feel different.

Some love don’t die, it just move positions,

Turn into a memory you visit from a distance.

I tried to outgrow what we built in the dark,

But certain fingerprints stay on your heart.

I been strong face, played my part,

But strength don’t erase where it tore you apart.

It’s not that I want what we had back then,

It’s how it felt when you knew me back then.

Before the pride, before the defense,

Before “I’m good” became my best sentence.

I learned how to breathe without needing a call,

Learned how to stand without leaning at all.

But healing ain’t linear — sometimes I fall,

Sometimes I miss who I was through it all.

I don’t say your name, I don’t point no blame,

I just sit with the silence and feel that rain.

‘Cause some connections don’t break — they change,

And love don’t vanish… it rearrange.

I’m moving forward, I promise I am,

Just part of my heart still don’t understand

How something so real turned into “we can’t”…

So I carry it quiet —

like a ghost in my hands.
