You tell me nothing changed You say it like before But now you keep a distance You never kept before The words are still familiar The meaning feels less clear You say the love is present But friendship is what’s here I don’t want to accuse you I don’t want to make you choose But I cannot call it unchanged When I can feel what moved You say it’s still the same But it doesn’t feel the same You still tell me that you love me Then you hold me farther away I keep listening to your words While your actions slowly change You say it’s still the same But it doesn’t feel the same You speak to me with kindness You still ask if I’m okay But everything is careful now And love has lost its place There’s nothing cruel between us No anger I can name Just something growing quieter While you say nothing changed Maybe you still mean it Maybe you believe it too But love cannot stay untouched When closeness leaves the room You say it’s still the same But it doesn’t feel the same You still tell me that you love me Then you hold me farther away I keep listening to your words While your actions slowly change You say it’s still the same But it doesn’t feel the same I would rather hear the truth Than be comforted by words I would rather know I lost you Than keep waiting for return You don’t have to make it painless You don’t have to take the blame But please don’t call it love If friendship took its place You say it’s still the same But I know it isn’t now You still tell me that you love me But you no longer show me how I will not argue with your feelings I will only name the change You say it’s still the same But it doesn’t feel the same It doesn’t feel the same No, it doesn’t feel the same
