#GoodbyeWithoutClosure

[the-silent-voices]

You didn’t owe me anything. But you stayed. You listened, you made the pain quieter without asking for anything in return. You were just kind. And somehow, your kindness became the safest place I knew. I didn’t plan to feel this. Didn’t want to complicate something so pure. But healing beside you blurred all my lines. Now I smile at you like nothing’s changed, while my heart folds itself smaller, trying to hide how much it aches just to stay close. You were just kind. And I… I fell for you quietly.

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you. We were supposed to be just friends. But I let my heart slip past the boundaries I promised to stay within. Now here we are — strangers to each other, With memories too heavy to hold but too beautiful to forget. You're the person I never meant to fall for. You're everything I never wanted to lose. I wish I could go back, Back to before I crossed that line — When I could still speak to you without the pain in my chest, When silence between us was comfortable, not heavy. I ruined everything. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you — but I did. And now I carry the weight of what could have been, Of the words left unspoken, Of the moments that slipped through my fingers. I wonder if you ever think about me, If you ever miss me the way I miss you. Maybe in another life, we could have gotten it right. But in this one, All I can do is wish you happiness from afar And hope that somehow, A piece of me still lingers in your heart — The way you will always linger in mine.

Not sure who wrote this, but it felt like a piece of my heart put into words.
