Your Silence Was Kind

I used to think love had to stay  
To mean something or not fade away  
But even if we’ve said goodbye  
You gave me stars beneath this sky
I cried, I healed  
And now I feel
Thank you for the quiet  
For the calm after the rain  
You held me for a season  
Now I’m standing in no pain  
You were the song I needed then  
And now I sing alone again  
Thank you for the quiet…  
And the way you left me whole
Some goodbyes don’t need regret  
Just the echo we don’t forget  
You taught me love in its softest form  
A fire without the storm
And if we meet again someday  
I'll smile and gently walk away
Thank you for the quiet  
For the calm after the rain  
You held me for a season  
Now I’m standing in no pain  
You were the song I needed then  
And now I sing alone again  
Thank you for the quiet…  
And the peace I now call home
"Goodnight… and thank you"
