Gentle Longing

I Missed You Quietly

There was no announcement. No late night text I deleted before sending. No dramatic spiral or playlist built around your name. I just noticed the absence.

It showed up in small places. A pause before opening my phone. A thought that lingered a second too long. A softness in my chest that didn’t ask to be examined.

I didn’t reach for you. I didn’t ask the universe for signs. I didn’t romanticize what we were or rewrite what wasn’t. I just let the feeling pass through me.

Missing you didn’t mean I wanted you back. It didn’t mean I forgot why distance exists. It didn’t undo the growth or the boundaries or the clarity. It was simply a quiet acknowledgment. You mattered once, and that memory still knows my name.

Some connections don’t demand action. They don’t knock. They don’t linger loudly. They pass through like a breath. Felt, noticed, released.

And I let it stay exactly that.

Final Thought: Divine Delulu Summary

Missing someone quietly is proof of healing, not weakness. It means the feeling no longer controls the narrative. It just exists, and then it lets you go.

Disclaimer:
Gentle longing does not equal unfinished business. This space is for honoring feelings without reopening doors, revisiting patterns, or betraying the peace you worked hard to build.
