1 Missed Call (And I Didn’t Care)

Phone lit up, your name in bold

Same four letters I used to hold

Just “1 missed call,” no voicemail drop

No shaking hands, no breath to stop

I stared at it for half a beat

Then tossed my phone beside the sheets

You used to freeze me with a sound

But look—I’m still here, safe and sound

Did you think I’d fall apart?

Rewind our mess and restart?

This heart's been patched, sealed, and signed

You’re just another “used to mind”

1 missed call, and I didn’t care

No “what if,” no silent prayer

No notes, no flashback reel

Just peace that finally feels real

You rang once, like that could change

The way we burned, the way we blamed

But I’m no longer that unaware

You called—

And I didn’t care

You always knew your timing well

Right when my smile started to swell

But I’ve built walls with wiser hands

And I don’t trip where silence stands

Maybe once I would’ve chased

But now I’m saving all my grace

For someone who won’t disappear

When things get sharp or unclear

1 missed call, and that was it

No tears, no poems I’d have writ

Just one small sound I used to fear

But now it fades—and I’m still here

So thanks for ringing just to show

How far I’ve come, how well I know

You’re just a tone lost in the air

You called—

And I didn’t care
