Lyric

You were never late, you just kept arriving after yourself

I read your silence the way you skim a receipt

Street was empty, someone laughed anyway

The crosswalk changed twice while neither of us moved

No signs, no stars, just the fridge hum at 3am

My name half-said in someone else's mouth, badly

I left a note out in the rain

You only clocked the puddle

Every word I folded small

Got lost between your thumbs and the screen

Maybe I talk too soft

Maybe you just stopped listening on purpose

But the truth

It never asked to be loud

My hand moved, you blinked, that was it

The whole poem, over

Not the words, just the gap where I waited for one

I screamed like a room with the lights off

Did that even reach you

Don't tell me you tried

Tell me you stayed anyway

Not love exactly

More like guilt with better posture

I left a note out in the rain

You kept walking, umbrella up

Every word I folded small

You probably used it as a coaster

Maybe I talk too soft

Or maybe quiet was never the problem, was it

But the truth

It was never asking to be heard
