I saw your name light up my screen
Like a ghost that still lives in me
I swore I'd stop, I tried to heal
But some wounds don’t ever feel real
And I know you don’t mean to haunt me
But silence sounds just like your voice
And I keep pretending I’ve moved on
But I never really had a choice
We can’t be friends, not when I still dream
Of what we were, of what we might’ve been
And you say, “wait,” but you never stay
So I’m done holding space in the in-between
For an almost love, an almost us
I’m letting go of what almost was
You loved me best when we were far
A wish you whispered to the stars
I needed more than halfway hearts
But you were gone before we could start
Maybe in a world where time was kind
You’d be yours, and I’d still be mine
But fate don’t wait, and neither can I
So this is our quiet goodbye
We can’t be friends, not when I still dream
Of what we were, of what we might’ve been
And you say, “wait,” but you never stay
So I’m done holding space in the in-between
For an almost love, an almost us
I’m letting go of what almost was
You’ll always be a soft regret
But I’ll love me more than I forget
Goodbye to the ghost I used to trust
Goodbye to what almost was
