I stepped away without a sound
No goodbye, no trace to be found
I watched from far, behind the haze
Just to see if you'd notice my name
Did you scroll through memories we shared?
Or did you just breathe, unaware?
Was I a page you turned too soon?
Or a silence you hummed to the moon?
Did you even look for me?
Search my name in the quiet screen?
Trace my shadow in the wind?
Or was I never anything?
Was it wrong to hope you’d care?
To test if I was ever there?
Maybe it’s me who broke the rule
For wanting more from you
I dropped hints like falling leaves
But you never stopped to see
I wrote silence in my absence
But you read it as indifference
So wanted to be missed, just once
To feel like losing me would cost
But you stayed still, like nothing cracked
Like I was never what you lacked
Maybe silence is your answer
Maybe I was never in your chapter
And maybe fading was my crime
But I needed to know, were you ever mine?
Did you even call my name
When the nights felt cold and strange?
Did your chest ever ache for me,
Like a ghost you couldn’t see?
Was it too much, what I hoped for?
A sign that I meant something more
But maybe I’m the only fool
Who thought you’d feel the loss too
I faded slow, just to be found
But silence was the only sound
If this is what you call love
Then maybe I was never enough
