You held my hand like it was true,
Like every word you said would stay.
But love, I didn't know that you
Were slowly drifting far away.
Your eyes would meet mine, soft and warm,
Yet hid the storms I couldn't see.
I trusted you through every form,
Not knowing you were losing me.
You smiled like nothing was undone,
Like hearts don't break in silent cries.
But I was loving only one—
While you were hiding your goodbyes.
No shattered glass, no loud goodbye,
Just quiet cracks I couldn't hear.
A love that didn't even try
To stay the same from year to year.
Now I collect what's left of me,
The parts you left in disarray.
And though it hurts to finally see,
I'm stronger since you walked away.
