You didn’t slam the door. You didn’t scream. You just… stopped arriving.
No final word, no cracked goodbye. Just space where you used to be.
Grief didn’t knock— it slipped in through the silence and made itself at home.
I still set the table for two, in my mind. Still expect your voice in rooms you never returned to.
How do you mourn someone who never said they were leaving? I keep replaying the last moment we shared like it was meant to mean something. But maybe it was just… a Tuesday.
You left like smoke— no shape, no sound, just scent on my clothes and a burn I can't place.
