I never dreamed
I’d say goodbye—
The thought was just too far.
Your name was written
In every tomorrow,
Not in the silence of stars.

Plans lay folded,
Like clothes we never wore,
Journeys whispered
But never begun.
Words caught in the hush
Between heartbeats—
And now, they're gone.

I never saw it coming,
This aching, quiet end.
The world still turns,
But I remain—
Still not ready
To let you go.
Still holding on
To then.
