Quiet stay
The conscious choice to remain emotionally anchored to someone despite prolonged silence, distance, or unspoken words. It means understanding that a pause in communication doesn't mean the connection has faded, and silently committing to not walk away.
You always had the words.
So I’ll give you something simpler:
the truth.
The distance keeps unfolding,
And days dissolve to passing weeks.
Yet silence is not emptiness,
When it’s the quiet heart that speaks.
I don’t expect an answer.
I don’t need a promise.
Some feelings survive without either.
I just wanted you to know:
Not every absence is a goodbye.
I am planting down my feet.
I am not afraid of the delay.
Through all the silence, time, and space:
I’m still here.
And every day,
I choose to stay.
... This quiet stay
