The sky turned gold, then didn’t fade
I typed your name, then backspaced “hey”
You always knew when not to call
But still, I waited through it all
Evening left on read
Too quiet in my head
I played our song on low
As if you’d text me back “let’s go”
You taught me how to wait in style
With lips that smiled and stayed a while
The read receipt hit like a sigh
You were always good at goodbye
Didn’t ghost—just lingered soft
Left your mood but took you off
