How did I lose the love we had?
Some days, I blame your choice.
But love can’t live inside a lie—
I silenced your own voice.
I wore the mask of Mr. Right,
And told myself that lie,
While you grew quieter each night,
And love began to die.
I wonder if I made you feel
That you could never speak—
So you pretended all was well,
While growing small and weak.
And when you left without a word,
The silence split my soul.
I felt betrayed—but deep inside,
I know I played a role.
You wouldn’t leave if I had been
The man I swore to be.
But I was blind to all your hurt—
And now you’re lost to me.
Yet through the wreckage, I can see
A gentler kind of grace—
I know you’ll find the joy you need,
And peace in your new place.
And I will heal, and learn to grow—
To love with open eyes.
No more pretending, no more fear,
No more well-dressed lies.
