Doesn’t Have To Be

There doesn’t have to be touch for it to be an affair.
There doesn’t have to be disappearance for you no longer to be there.
There don’t have to be words to feel the weight of all you’ve said.
There don’t have to be answers to the riddles in my head.
There doesn’t have to be anything.
It was just a comfort knowing
That even this small… something
Was indeed a real… thing.
But it wasn’t.
It isn’t.
And never will it be.
There doesn’t have to be goodbye for you to be free of me.
You always were.
