I stayed when it was uncomfortable Stayed when it stopped making sense I learned how to sit with the silence And call it patience I didn’t leave when it got heavy I didn’t ask you to choose I just kept showing up Until there was nothing left to use I don’t think you noticed When I started letting go Not loudly Just quietly All at once There’s nothing left to reach for Nothing left to say I gave everything that mattered And watched it fade I didn’t walk away angry I didn’t slam the door I just stopped believing In what wasn’t there anymore I waited for the moment You’d finally see me clearly Not as something convenient Not something temporary I kept my love clean I kept my hands open And somehow that still wasn’t What you were hoping I don’t think you meant to hurt me I don’t think you tried at all But indifference cuts deeper Than anything you’d call cruel There’s nothing left to reach for Nothing left to fight I spent too many nights Trying to feel alive I didn’t need perfection I didn’t need control I just needed to matter And I never did, not whole I didn’t disappear I was worn down By waiting to be chosen By someone who already knew They wouldn’t I don’t need closure I don’t need you to respond I already lived the answer Every time I held on There’s nothing left to reach for And that’s the hardest truth Not that I lost you But that I lost myself with you If you ever wonder Why I finally let go It’s because love shouldn’t feel Like being invisible I loved you honestly That was enough Santi flores
