The Last Goodbye

When silence spoke louder than love

You didn’t shout

You didn’t cry

You just slowly learned

how to say goodbye

No broken glass

No final fight

Just empty space

where we felt right

I still replay

your fading smile

like it stayed too long

just for a while

You left so soft

I almost missed

the moment love

turned into this

Now I stand

where we used to be

talking to ghosts

of you and me

And I understand

what hurts the most

not losing you

but losing us close

The last goodbye

was never said

it lived between us

in words we left unread
