I have been holding on to you
Since before I ever knew your name
just like catching a falling star in the dark
just to keep a little warmth, a little flame
You were great not in the loud, shiny way
but in the way soft music stays in your chest.
Like that cigarette after sex songs,,
that made silence feel like rest.
You were the last bite of the ice cream,
Melting slow on a lonely night.
The kind of moment you want to save
but it slips away despite how tight you hold it right.
You were the hoodie I never returned,
The playlist I never skipped.
A dream I replayed every evening,
even when the edges of it ripped.
I painted futures with your smile,
Built days out of your gaze
I stayed long after the goodbye,
wishing time could be replayed..
But love is not always forever,
sometimes its a lesson, a ghost.
And now, letting you go
Hurts more than holding you close.
So here it is my quite goodbye,
Not bitter, not angry, just slow.
You were beautiful and I loved you
well and it’s time to let you go..
~ sometimes don't need to mention someone our words Express everything to them
