Text I’ll Never Send

[Verse 1 – The Setup]
I saw your name light up again
Not a message—just a memory
That picture from 2010
You in that old hoodie, next to me
Funny how my chest still tightens
When I scroll too far, and time rewinds
[Pre-Chorus – The Internal Struggle]
I know I said I’m over it
But my thumbs keep proving otherwise
Wrote you a thousand drafts
Then watched ‘em all die
[Chorus – The Hook]
This is the text I’ll never send
Typed out drunk at 2 a.m.
"You still cross my mind, more than I pretend"
I hit delete and hit it again
I saved it in a note, not the thread
Right next to all the things I never said
This is the truth I won’t defend—
Just a text I’ll never send.
[Verse 2 – The Middle Build]
Your sister got married last fall
I saw it through a tagged post
You looked older, happier
And somehow even further than most
My heart said “just one message”
But my pride still guards that ghost
[Bridge – The Realization / Breaking Point]
Maybe you'd write back… maybe you wouldn’t
Maybe you moved on, or maybe you couldn’t
But I never gave you the chance to choose
And maybe that’s why I still lose
‘Cause silence isn’t closure
It’s just a wound that won’t bruise
[Final Chorus – Shifted Emotion]
This is the text I’ll never send
It still lives in my drafts, unsent
"Hope you found your peace, I never quite did"
Too many words, too much to admit
A goodbye that never began
Just me and the weight of what we never had
No rewrite. No postscript. Just “the end.”
And a text I’ll never send.
