Every night, I tell you, “Go to sleep, good night.” But deep inside, I whisper, “No… stay a little longer.” Expectations always hurt — and your reply is always the same: "Okay, bye. GN." Just out of care, because you know lack of sleep harms my health. And I know — you always wanted to have a long conversation, where there’s nothing to share, but just presence is all we craved.

Unspoken Goodbyes
Every night, I tell you, “Go to sleep, good night.” But deep inside, I whisper, “No… stay a little longer.” Expectations always hurt — and your reply is always the same: "Okay, bye. GN." Just out of care, because you know lack of sleep harms my health. And I know — you always wanted to have a long conversation, where there’s nothing to share, but just presence is all we craved.
Some goodbyes are painful yet needed.
