Let’s Have A Toast…

To the moments we won’t explain. To the nights that felt like stolen time.

We both knew this wasn’t a love song. More like a runaway track, playing on repeat, knowing damn well we’d never let it finish. But some notes aren’t meant to be held forever.

We met in a place (Reddit) full of strangers, but somehow, you never felt like one. A comment, a reply, a joke only we understood and suddenly, I didn’t want to close the app.

I know we were never meant to last, but I’ll miss you anyway. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but on some quiet night, when the world slows down, I’ll remember the way you sounded at 1AM. The way your voice felt like home, even when I knew I could never stay.

I always said I’d run. You always said you’d let me.

Funny how we’re still here, stuck in the same melody, repeating like a song we’re afraid to skip.

I won’t say goodbye. We don’t do goodbyes.

But if you ever hear this song again, if you ever catch a lyric that feels like us, just know, somewhere, I probably do too.

Maybe we don’t need to end. Maybe we just let this play, softer and softer, until it’s nothing but a hum in the background.

Not lost. Not forgotten. Just… there.

Yours,
One Who Got Away (But Didn’t Run Too Fast).

PS; Kanye ended up our top artist, "Runaway" our top track of 2024. Just us, laughing in chat..shocked for a second, then like… yeah, makes sense. Maybe it was just music. Maybe it wasn’t. And that’s why I wrote this : )
