The Things We Left Unsaid

what once was love, diminished

I don’t think I can love you anymore,
not from a lack of feeling,
but from the weight of a love
that overwhelms me,
each heartbeat a reminder
of how deeply I care.

I'm caught in the paradox of wanting,
where my heart stretches for you,
yet feels you pulling away,
holding tightly to a love
that seems to slip through my fingers.

Each day feels emptier,
with silence where we used to talk,
and shadows fill the spaces
where we once laughed together.
I sit alone, missing the closeness,
wondering if you ever felt it too.

I don’t think I can love you anymore.
