“The Silence Between Us”

 I still remember the day

you walked into my life

like a soft breeze on a summer night,

calm… gentle… unexpected.

And I,

a heart stitched with old scars,

somehow felt whole again.

You didn’t fix me —

you just sat beside the broken pieces

and made them feel seen.

But love,

love isn’t always loud.

Sometimes it leaves quietly —

like you did.

No storm,

no goodbye,

just silence that screamed louder

than any words ever could.

Now, I speak to your absence

more than I ever spoke to you.

I write poems you’ll never read,

cry tears you’ll never wipe,

and wait for a message

that will never arrive.

People say "move on,"

as if hearts have a switch.

But how do I forget someone

who lives in the pauses of every song,

in the spaces between my breaths?

You were not just a chapter,

you were the whole story

that ended mid-sentence.
