The Silence Between Us
In the quiet, I hear the sound of rain,
A storm inside, I can’t explain.
Words I spoke, now heavy in the air,
A choice I made, now filled with despair.
I told him, "Let’s take a break, chat off,
If we’re meant to be, time will bring us back."
I thought it would be fine, that I’d forget,
But weeks later, regret has set.
At first, I thought I wouldn’t care,
But soon, I found myself looking there.
I checked his profile, just to see,
And saw a sign, a hint about me.
His words, though quiet, touched my heart,
And for a moment, it felt like we weren’t apart.
But then, his bio disappeared, it’s gone,
And I wondered if he’s moved on.
I wanted to reach out, to send him a text,
But fear holds me back—what if he forgets?
What if he doesn’t reply, what if he’s done?
What if he’s already with someone?
The rain is cold, the wind a sigh,
I miss him more than I’ll ever deny.
And though we're worlds apart, you see,
I wish he was here, beside me.
But maybe the stars don’t align for us,
Maybe destiny wasn’t on our side.
And though the love was there, in that space,
Sometimes, you have to let go and embrace the chase.
