You never slammed the door or screamed
But something left us in between
We talked, we smiled, but never deep
Like skipping stones across the sleep
There were days I should’ve stayed
But silence felt like the only way
Time slips softly through the cracks
Taking all we can’t get back
Moments blurred like rain on glass
Too quiet, too fast
We never fought, we just withdrew
I lost myself inside of you
Time slipped softly
And so did we too
The coffee cooled before we drank
A single word could tip the plank
I watched you drift inside your shell
And didn’t ask, though I could tell
We let the small things start to pile
Until we forgot how to smile
Time slips softly, like a sigh
Taking pieces we don’t realize
No alarms, no sirens call
Just empty rooms and quiet falls
We never broke, we just came loose
One day I looked — and I’d lost you
Time slipped softly
And I did too
I still wonder what we’d be
If I had stopped the clock at three
Or if I’d said, “I feel it too”
When all I saw was fading blue
Time slips softly when you’re near
And even more when you disappear
It doesn’t rush, it doesn’t scream
It just erases what we mean
We never shattered, never bled
We just stopped what once was said
Time slipped softly
And left us unsaid
