Shush Don’t Say It.
Then I can live in hope
Shush Don’t Say It
Shush.
Don’t say it.
She doesn’t want to hear it’s over.
She doesn’t want to hear they’re over.
Not yet.
If it isn’t said, it isn’t fixed.
That’s how she’s keeping it standing.
She looks at the floor.
Then the wall.
Anywhere that isn’t your face.
Say you’re tired.
Say you need time.
Say something that can still change.
Her phone is in her hand again.
It’s always in her hand.
Nothing coming in.
Still.
People are watching her carefully.
That’s how she knows.
That and the way no one meets her eyes.
She isn’t being dramatic.
She just wants one more normal day.
One day where the word doesn’t exist.
Shush.
Leave it where it is.
Some things end only when they’re spoken,
and she’s not ready to hear hers.

Gentleness and Wisdom
I’ve noticed that people in healthy relationships often share a common trait: the ability to see each other’s "dilemmas." Sometimes, what your partner says or does might seem inexplicable—even hurtful, angry, or aggrieved. But when you refuse to retaliate and instead pause to empathize, many tensions begin to loosen. When you look past the surface to understand their true psychological motivations, they will sense it. They lower their defenses, become more vulnerable, and may even begin to rely on you because, at that moment, they are finally understood.
