The call went quiet, but not cut
We both just stayed, not pressing shut
I heard you breathe, you hummed a bit
And I just smiled, not moving it
You didn’t say goodnight, not yet
And that one pause I won’t forget
It felt like “stay” in silent form
Like comfort wrapped in something warm
The screen went black, but not goodbye
Just space between a low-lit sky
You didn’t hang, you didn’t go
Just let the stillness gently grow
And in that hush, I heard it clear
The words you held were pulling near
We both just stayed, not pressing shut
I heard you breathe, you hummed a bit
And I just smiled, not moving it
You didn’t say goodnight, not yet
And that one pause I won’t forget
It felt like “stay” in silent form
Like comfort wrapped in something warm
The screen went black, but not goodbye
Just space between a low-lit sky
You didn’t hang, you didn’t go
Just let the stillness gently grow
And in that hush, I heard it clear
The words you held were pulling near
