The Letter I Never Wrote

[Verse 1]
The pen was full, the page was bare
The silence heavy in the air
I sat alone, the words so near
But none would fall, just held by fear
[Pre-Chorus]
You moved on like seasons do
And I stayed still, inside the blue
[Chorus]
This is the letter I never wrote
The one that trembled in my throat
It held the truth I couldn’t say
Of nights I wished you’d choose to stay
Now every word remains unsaid
And lingers where we used to tread
[Verse 2]
The ink has dried, the night grew deep
Memories I couldn’t keep
I traced your name with aching grace
A ghost I dared not now embrace
[Pre-Chorus]
The stars all blinked and turned away
As if they knew I’d lost the day
[Chorus]
This is the letter I never wrote
The one that trembled in my throat
It held the truth I couldn’t say
Of nights I wished you’d choose to stay
Now every word remains unsaid
And lingers where we used to tread
[Bridge]
If I had sent it, would you cry?
Or just read once and pass it by?
[Final Chorus]
This is the letter I never wrote
A fragile hope that couldn’t float
Still in my hands, it fades away
Like everything I meant to say
And in the quiet of this night
I let it go without a fight
