Z.

You said goodbye instead.

I was afraid to jump.
I was afraid of it all.
But you made me brave enough
To let myself fall.

I was a fool
To read it all out of context.
I was so stupid
To think there was something between the lines.

My heart was a closed door
But I heard a faint knocking
It took me some time to think
If I should let you in.

With anxiety, I held it open.
But you were already a few steps away.
You felt something for me
But it was not enough to make you wait

The word "hello" in my mouth was left unsaid.
Because you said goodbye instead.
