I typed it slow, just three small words
Then stared too long, like they were heard
The cursor blinked, the screen went dim
I backspaced love, on just a whim
I wrote "miss you" then deleted it
Like saying so would not quite fit
And though it stayed inside my chest
The silence said the feeling best
I paused, then locked the phone away
Regret comes softer end of day
Some words are sharp when read too soon
So I let mine float past the moon
You’ll never know, but I still meant
Each line I typed but never sent
