Reflection

I have a feeling

that you won’t notice if I disappear.

Maybe I never made an impact,

or maybe we just weren’t meant to last.

I don’t blame you.

Maybe we were only a phase.

Maybe what I felt was nothing more than chemistry.

If I’m really your lifeline,

would you be this indifferent?

Would losing me shake you?

Would the idea of me falling out of love

make you stop and think?

Because I’m only a mirror of what you give:

My smile comes from trust.

My tears come from fear.

My silence comes from distance.

My anger comes from still caring.

I’m just waiting.

Waiting for you to show I matter.

To move closer.

To say something.
