Stranger Now

You used to text when the night fell long

Now I just scroll where your name's still gone

The city hums but I don't mind

Your ghost still passes from time to time

We built a world out of passing words

Then watched it fade without a storm

No closure, just a quiet burn

I guess that's how we both un-learn

We don't talk and I'm alright

Haven't heard your voice in months, that's fine

You walk by, I don't look twice

You're just a stranger with familiar eyes

I won't reach out, I won't explain

If you wanted to, you'd do the same

But this silence, somehow I feel fine

I thought I'd break when you disappeared

But calm came slow and it stayed clear

No hate, no wish, no sleepless calls

Just silence dressed in something small

Sometimes I see a shadow near

A name that fades when I'm sincere

I used to dream you'd come around

Now I just love this quiet sound

We don't talk and I'm alright

Haven't heard your voice in months, that's fine

You walk by, I don't look twice

You're just a stranger with familiar eyes

I won't reach out, I won't explain

If you wanted to, you'd do the same

But this silence, somehow I feel fine

Maybe peace was meant like this

Not love, not hate, just emptiness

The kind that doesn't hurt to feel

The kind that proves the heart can heal

We don't talk and I'm alright

Haven't heard your voice in months, that's fine

You walk by, I don't look twice

You're just a stranger with familiar eyes

I won't reach out, I won't explain

If you wanted to, you'd do the same

But this silence, somehow I feel fine

If we ever meet again somehow

I'd smile but I'm not breaking down

We were almost, we were loud

But look at us, we're strangers now
