What Didn’t Happen

Nothing changed. The moment stayed itself. Silence did not tilt. No meaning was added to it. I was not corrected for being slow. I was not pulled back into conversation.

The air remained usable. When I moved, nothing followed. The absence lingered—not empty, just intact.

I keep it with me, this kind of ending, because it leaves nothing to recover from.
