You didn’t shout, you didn’t sigh
You just said “maybe,” not “goodbye”
But in that tone, so gently placed
I heard the end, no need to chase
It wasn't loud, but it was final
A breath that curled like a lost vinyl
Spinning slow on muted strings
A stillness loud as breaking things
The way you paused before you turned
Lit every bridge I hadn’t burned
You didn’t scream, but I still flinched
Like future dreams had all been pinched
No slam, no cry, no backward glance
Just silence dressed in elegance
You just said “maybe,” not “goodbye”
But in that tone, so gently placed
I heard the end, no need to chase
It wasn't loud, but it was final
A breath that curled like a lost vinyl
Spinning slow on muted strings
A stillness loud as breaking things
The way you paused before you turned
Lit every bridge I hadn’t burned
You didn’t scream, but I still flinched
Like future dreams had all been pinched
No slam, no cry, no backward glance
Just silence dressed in elegance
