You Didn't Say Goodbye (Version 2)

I saw the jacket missing from the peg One less coffee cup, no text You didn’t fight, didn’t plead your case You just left a little extra space And I filled it with my legs crossed You didn’t leave a note or call Not even a crack in the wall It’s cleaner than I thought it’d be I didn’t even lose sleep You didn’t say goodbye But I still closed the door You didn’t leave a mark But I don’t want you anymore You slipped out like a dropped call But I don’t miss you at all You didn’t say goodbye You didn’t say goodbye Your shoes aren’t under the stairs No spare shirt in the dryer, no stares The house feels sharper, a little new You didn’t pack a lie or clue You just stopped being part of the view No fights, no fireworks, no mess Just a door left half-unlatched And I didn’t chase or check Just exhaled and moved my desk You didn’t say goodbye But I still closed the door You didn’t light a flame So I don’t need to mourn You faded like an old ringtone That I never claimed as my own You didn’t say goodbye You didn’t say goodbye There’s no line to cross, no vow to bend You didn’t end it—you just didn’t attend But silence tells more than words do And I’m louder without you You didn’t say goodbye But I still closed the door Didn’t leave a dent So I don’t keep the score You left quiet, but I left sure And I won’t open that door anymore You didn’t say goodbye You didn’t say goodbye
