Misread

It's not the quiet that's killing me It's not knowing what you're thinking I'll hold my own thoughts for the time being Lost a firm grasp now I'm barely clinging To what's left of what I would have said If you hadn't left me on misread We'd be together instead of pretending we're impervious Like we're prepared for this kind of impermanence Almost but not quite entirely unlike me to leave At most out of spite inspired by pre-emptive worrying Instead it's everything in due time When it's time you can have mine I'm here to be an ear, to help you unwind Don't undermine love unrefined Your efforts are not in vein I believe in your pain Doubt only remains when we try to compare gain Change so sincere we forget from where we came
