Pages You Forgot

You left your book on the floor

Folded page, nothing more

I picked it up just to see

What line you saved for me

A tiny doodle in the side

A heart you didn’t try to hide

And though you say you never write

This felt like something right

You don’t know what you leave behind

But I find you every time

In the pages you forgot

Little moments, little plot

Even silence reads like you

Every mark, a subtle clue

I don’t need a perfect note

Just the things you never wrote

There’s a story in the spot—

In the pages you forgot

Margins tell me what you mean

Empty spaces in between

No loud words or fancy phrase

Still I feel your quiet gaze

You leave trails you never see

But they all lead back to me

You don’t have to try a lot—

Love’s in pages you forgot
