The Quiet Between Us

We stopped talking somewhere
Between the second and the third goodbye
Not because we didn't care
But because we ran out of why

There's a quiet between us now
That doesn't ask for repair
It just sits in the middle
Like it's always been there

Like it's always been there

I could try to fill it
With words that don't belong
But I think we'd both hear it
That something would be wrong

Some things don't break
They just, stop

And maybe that's the kind of ending
No one ever writes about
Not a crash, not a fire
Just a slowly fading out

There's a quiet between us now
And I think, we'll let it stay
