I wrote it out then changed the tone

Tried to sound less overgrown

Deleted lines that felt too real

Rewrote things I shouldn't feel

Cursor blinking like a dare

Say it now or leave it there

Every version sounds the same

Different words, same kind of pain

If I send it, it might break

If I don’t, it still won't stay

All these drafts I never send

Conversations in my head

You'll never read the things I wrotе

Never hear thе words I choke

I keep rewriting what we were

Like it changes what it hurt

Every message left on read

Lives forever in my head

I scroll back to older days

When replies came without delay

Now it’s hours, now it's cold

Shorter texts, the tone controlled

You don't lie, you just avoid

Fill the gaps up with the void

Not dramatic, nothing loud

Just two people fading out

We don't crash, we don't burn

We just stop and never turn

All these drafts I never send

Conversations in my head

You'll never read the things I wrote

Never hear the words I choke

I keep fixing every line

Like I'm fixing you and I

But the truth stays where it's been

In the drafts I never send

No last fight, no clear goodbye

Just less reason to reply

We became what people do

When they don’t know what is true

Say it once or let it die

No more"maybe", no more"try"

I won’t beg you to pretend

I'll just leave it - never send
