Letters to a Quiet Goodbye

[Intro] Screens glow like dawn on a quiet night I type your name and hold my breath just right Digits hum a heartbeat I can’t feel Letters cradle wounds that time won’t heal [Verse 1] You smiled in pixels, warm as sunlit rain But in the text, I learned your real refrain You said my words were bright, then faded slow A chorus of replies, but never glow [Chorus] If love is a message, why does it burn in dry air? I chase your breath in an echo, but you’re never there I keep the light of your words, but you shine away Goodbye exists in letters, but not in day [Verse 2] I sent my soul in cursive through the screen Painted promises in blue and emerald gleam You replied with halos of soft, cooler tone Left me holding sunsets on a voicemail [Bridge] I learned to laugh in drafts, to smile in gray To walk away and own the night from yesterday The warmth I kept, I’ll wear as my own skin Reclaiming the quiet where my true light begins [Chorus] If love is a message, why does it burn in dry air? I chase your breath in an echo, but you’re never there I keep the light of your words, but you shine away Goodbye exists in letters, but not in day [Verse 3] So I write the end in ink that won’t decay Letting go of the cursor, I’m stepping away The screen grows cold where once your laughter played I walk toward dawn, where real voices fade to say [Chorus] If love is a message, why does it burn in dry air? I chase your breath in an echo, but you’re never there I keep the light of your words, but you shine away Goodbye exists in letters, but not in day [Outro] I’m folding the script, reclaiming what’s mine Signing off softly, learning to breathe in time The warmth was borrowed, the silence finally mine I walk into morning, where my voice can shine
