I keep dialing your number,
hoping this time you’ll pick up.
But it\u2019s the same
the silence,
the missed call that stays missed,
like I never tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I send a text,
simple, just asking if you’re okay,
but the dots never dance back,
no reply,
just empty space between us now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ask if something’s wrong,
if we need to talk,
and you say, “No, there\u2019s no issue.”
But the way you don\u2019t meet my eyes anymore,
the way you’re too busy for us,
it tells me something different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, I apologize,
for things I don\u2019t even know if I did wrong.
I\u2019m sorry
I say it again and again,
hoping to fix whatever\u2019s broken between us.
But nothing changes.
The distance stays,
the conversations that once flowed
are now just awkward pauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t meet anymore,
you\u2019re always busy,
too busy to make time,
too busy to care or so it feels.
I asked if it\u2019s on purpose,
if this pulling away is intentional,
but you didn\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now,
I\u2019m left standing in the middle of this silence,
wondering
Should I still wait?
Should I hold on to hope that you’ll come back,
or should I move on?
I don\u2019t even know what I am to you anymore,
just a fading memory
or someone you still care about.
The hardest part isn\u2019t the letting go,
it\u2019s not knowing if I should.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
