I almost texted you tonight,
but I stopped…
not because I had nothing to say,
but because I had too much.
I wanted to tell you
that the night feels heavier without your voice,
and that silence…
isn’t always peaceful for me.
I wanted to ask
if you made it home safe,
if you remembered me for a second
between all the things that keep you busy.
But I didn’t send it.
Because I’m learning
how to hold my feelings
without letting them spill everywhere.
Still…
if you ever feel a quiet moment
that doesn’t make sense
maybe it’s me,
missing you
in a message
I’ll never send.
