A quite Good bye

I thought our hearts could carry this flame, but fear has shadowed every day. The weight of secrets, sharp with blame, has stolen all the words I’d say. It’s not your fault, nor mine alone, but time reveals what’s truly right. Better to part while love has grown, than lose ourselves in endless night. So take my truth, though it may sting, I cared for you in every way. Yet freedom is a kinder thing— a quiet goodbye is love today.
