Typing

You used to text like fireworks
Now I'm watching your dot just blink
Three bubbles, then nothing
Guess I'm back to guessing what you think
You said you're not into games
Just "bad at phones" or "lost in thought"
But your last online was midnight
And my name just fell off your plot

You move like gravity
Then float off like air
Said "you're different"
I just didn't know where

Now I'm stuck on "typing..."
Like I'm the one who begged
Wasn't it you who leaned in first
And said I made you feel safe?
I don't chase slow replies
They don't taste like care
You turned "good morning" into
A message I don't dare

You liked every post I made
Except the one that asked "be honest"
Funny how you read me daily
But your heart's still set to "cautious"
You kissed like it meant the world
Then vanished like a test run
What's with these soulmates
That time out after the fun?

I've seen this plot
Flash start, ghost end
You say "it's not you"
I say "cool, it depends"

Now I'm stuck on "typing..."
But no words ever land
You built a bridge with fire
Then left me holding sand

You said "don't overthink it"
But I read between the lines
Even silence has a meaning
And yours sounds a lot like "goodbye"

They love the chase But not the arrival
They love the echo But not the reply
They say "I felt it" But never "I stayed"
They want your attention But not the weight

They flirt like fire Then vanish like breath
They crave your softness But fear what's left
They want deep souls Just not the depth
Say "don't get attached"Then beg for respect

Now I'm stuck on "typing..."
While you post quotes 'bout space
You wrote poems in my DMs
Then erased your trace
I won't beg for context
Or decode delay
Just remember
You paused
And I walked away
