Keep Talking

You started talking like I wasn’t there

Same room, same distance

Didn’t look at me once

Just kept going like it was safe

I leaned back in the chair

Didn’t interrupt you

You thought silence meant nothing

I needed to hear it

⸻

I didn’t stop you

Didn’t step in

I let it play out

From start to end

⸻

Keep talking

That’s how I know

You say more without me

Than you ever show

Keep talking

Don’t slow it down

Some things come out clearer

When I’m not around

⸻

You didn’t fix a single word

Didn’t walk it back

You sounded sure of everything

Like I wasn’t part of that

I used to ask for reasons

Used to give you time

Now I don’t need a second version

You gave me yours just fine

⸻

I didn’t move

Didn’t react

I let the moment

Handle that

⸻

Keep talking

That’s how I know

You say more without me

Than you ever show

Keep talking

Don’t slow it down

Some things come out clearer

When I’m not around

⸻

I could’ve cut you off

Said your name out loud

But everything you said right then

Hit different without me now

⸻

(SIGNATURE LINE — LOCKED)

I didn’t lose you in silence — I understood you in it

⸻

Keep talking

That was enough

Didn’t need your version

You already said too much

Keep talking

I won’t forget

Some things don’t come back

Once you hear them like that

⸻

You kept talking

I stopped listening
