Forgot to Miss You

[ Lyrics ]

One day I realized—I didn’t ache.

Sunlight hit the floor like it always does,
coffee in my hands, no pause, no fuss.
Used to scan my phone just to feel the sting,
now I leave it dead while I breathe and sing.
Opened up your texts—just out of habit,
read two lines... then I stopped, and shut it.
Thought I’d feel the storm, thought I’d break again,
but the silence settled soft like rain.

No craving your voice, no replaying the fight,
no tears in the rearview when I pass that light.
And the grief I wore like a second skin?
It slipped off quietly—without letting in.

One day I realized—I didn’t ache.
Not numb, not angry, not half awake.
Just… free.
Forgot to miss you.
Woke up and didn’t reach for the past.
Forgot to miss you—this weight’s released at last.

Packed your hoodie in the donate box,
laughed at how I thought it held your ghost.
Wore the dress you said I’d never own,
danced in the kitchen, completely alone.
Didn’t need a reason, didn’t need a sign,
just this quiet joy that finally feels like mine.
No more chasing echoes through the hall,
just peace that fits me—like I’m standing tall.

And if your name comes up, I don’t brace for flame,
I just say it like a story I no longer claim.
No pride, no shame—just a chapter closed,
like a coat unbuttoned, finally unposed.

One day I realized—I didn’t ache.
Not broken, not faking, not half at stake.
Just… me.
Forgot to miss you.
Healing didn’t scream—it just slipped through.
Forgot to miss you—now I remember who.

I waited for the thunder,
prepared for the fall.
But the storm never came—
just spring after all.
No grand revelation,
no fire, no sign—
just one morning breathing,
and you weren’t on my mind.

One day I realized—I didn’t ache.
No chains, no mistakes, no heart on break.
Just light.
Forgot to miss you.
Lived through the fire, walked out unbruised.
Forgot to miss you—now I’m always choosing you.

…forgot to miss you.
