Cant Skip 2 Acceptance

“You were the first one I’d call when my world turned to static and nothing felt solid, The blueprint I followed, the compass I borrowed, the hand on my shoulder when logic went hollow. Used to speak like the sun, like your voice made the trees bloom faster and colors burn brighter, Now it’s cold in the room when your name gets mentioned, like someone dimmed the lighter. You showed me what strength was before I could spell it, walked like the moon pulled your path, Made me believe I was bigger than pain, that I could turn storms into laughs. But something in you flickered and fell, and I never heard the crash or the echo, Just a shift in the wind, like a door closed slowly and whispered, “you gotta let go.” I never asked questions ‘cause I trusted the silence, the bond, the unspoken script, But lately I study your footprints and wonder which ones were honest and which ones slipped. It’s strange how we never fought, never broke glass or yelled through the walls, We just became strangers who smile through teeth while pretending we still take calls. You were home before I knew what “home” was, more than a friend, more like a brother, someone to be there for each other Something ancient and sacred, the anchor I leaned on when life tried to lift. And maybe I placed you too high, maybe I dreamed you too flawless, too holy, But you let me believe that forever meant something — that you'd never fold me slowly. I write this like a letter I’ll never send, just thoughts bleeding out on the floor, 'Cause if I spoke them out loud you’d just say I’m trippin’ and smile like nothing’s ignored. But I know when a bond gets bruised, and I know when a vibe turns brittle, When someone you love gives you less each day, but wraps it in riddles. I would’ve taken the blame if it fixed things, would’ve swallowed the guilt with pride, But this ain’t a game and I ain’t your mirror, I can’t keep pretending it’s fine. I still love you — I say that without hesitation, no shade in the phrasing, But love without roots turns to rain on pavement — soft for a second, then fading. Now I talk to the void where your voice used to live, where your jokes used to land like songs, And I laugh too loud in public now, like I’m proving to no one that nothing is wrong. We shared everything but this, the weight of what we don't discuss Sits heavier than all the things we ever trusted between us. I won't bring it up — I know how you get when things get too clear, too raw, But every time I breathe your name, it stings like the truth in a flaw. If you ever look up at the sky and feel something missing at night, Just know it’s me — still rooting for you… just not under the same light.”
