The Quiet Between Us

If I change, don’t ask why.
If I start distancing myself from you,

don’t ask why.

If my words dry up and my eyes avoid yours,

don’t ask why.

The silence that builds between us

is louder than any explanation

I could ever give.

When the warmth fades from my touch

and my laughter no longer fills the room,

don’t ask why.

Maybe the weight of unspoken words

became too heavy to carry,

or perhaps the distance between our hearts

became a canyon we couldn't cross.

If you find me lost in thought,

eyes wandering to places far from here,

don’t ask why.

Sometimes, the heart seeks solace in spaces

where it doesn’t need to explain its pain,

where the quiet is more comforting

than the questions left unanswered.

So if I start to fade away,

don’t ask why.

Some things are meant to be felt,

not spoken.
