Flicker in Silence

My love, I’ve been carrying these words

Longer than I knew how to say

Maybe there’s no perfect way to leave

When love was real along the way

What we had was real to me,

every laugh, every tear The quiet nights,

the heavy days, the reasons you were here All the memories we

made, I still carry every one You mattered more than words can

say, you were never just someone

But somewhere in the middle,

something changed inside I kept telling myself we’d find our way if

we just tried I smiled through the silence,

said that everything was fine But deep down I knew the truth

was waiting in my mind

I don’t want to stay because goodbye is hard

I don’t want to leave you broken in the dark

You deserve a love that doesn’t hesitate

And I can’t keep pretending we can turn back time and wait

So with a heavy heart,

I’m letting you go

Even though a part of me still hates saying so

It’s not because you meant nothing to me

It’s because you meant enough to set you free

I hope someday the sadness fades away

And you remember all the good we gave

You’ll always be a chapter I hold dear

Goodbye, my love, I hope you hear

I won’t make a list of every time we got it wrong

We were only human trying to hold on

We both had our moments,

we both could’ve done more

But love can reach a limit even when it’s still pure

Two people can love and still lose the road Still care for

each other and still outgrow the load I don’t want resentment to

be what remains Or turn all of our memories into reasons for

blame

I’m walking away because I can’t keep lying

Saying I’m okay while something in me’s dying And I’d rather hurt

you once with the truth I have to say Than keep you

with a love that keeps fading every day I know these words

are gonna hurt you

They’re cutting through me too

But I can’t give you certainty When I don’t know how to

I hope you find the happiness I couldn’t give Someone who meets

you completely, someone ready to stay and live Someone who never makes

you question if you’re enough Someone who can give you certainty,

presence, and love And I need to find my own way forward

too

Learn to live with the things I couldn’t undo

Thank you for the time,

for the trust, for your heart

For every piece of your life you gave me from the start

I’m sorry for the ways I hurt you,

the things I couldn’t be

For every unanswered question,

every missing piece of me

I’m grateful for the laughter,

for the nights we made it through For every little part of

life that I got to share with you I hope when you

remember us, it’s warmer than it’s sad

Not just the ending,

but the beautiful moments that we had The lessons and the kindness,

the ways we helped each other grow Some loves aren’t meant to

last forever, but that doesn’t make them less than whole

So with a heavy heart,

I’m letting you go

Even though a part of me still hates saying so

It’s not because you meant nothing to me

It’s because you meant enough to set you free

I hope you find the life you’re dreaming of someday

And I hope the hurt will slowly fade away

Thank you for the love,

for everything sincere Goodbye,

my love, I hope you hear

Take care of yourself when I’m no longer there I’ll always wish

you well, I’ll always care Goodbye,

and thank you for being part of my life Some endings still

hurt, even when they’re right
