Soft air, trainers on stone

Morning moving without me asking

Light on the water, slow and loose

Sun’s up early, doing its thing

Catches the glass, catches me blinking

I’m walking south with nowhere urgent

Hands in my pockets, thoughts still learning

Boats drift past like they’ve got time

People laughing like it’s allowed now

I feel lighter than I expected

That’s not nothing, I’ll accept it

I thought I’d feel it more

Thought it would hit, knock me sideways

But it’s just quiet

And I’m still walking

Down the silent highway

Water pulling everything forward

I don’t fight it today

I let the current do the talking

I’m not stuck, I’m not stranded

I’m just here, understanding

Some things leave without a sound

On the silent highway

There’s a bench where we sat once

Paint peeling, name scratched out

Funny how the place remembers

When the people don’t stick around

Coffee cups, bike bells ringing

City breathing, wide awake

I don’t rewind, don’t reach for you

I just notice the way I’m okay

No sharp edges now

No questions needing answers

Just the day

Opening slowly

Down the silent highway

Sunlit water, silver motion

I don’t chase it today

I let go of the need for closure

I’m not lost, I’m not damaged

I’m just moving, empty-handed

Some things fade into the ground

On the silent highway

Spring doesn’t ask for permission

It just happens, soft and sure

Every step feels like a sentence

I don’t need to finish anymore

Down the silent highway

City humming like a promise

I don’t name it today

I just walk inside the moment

I’m still here, still breathing

Still believing in the quiet

Life keeps flowing, I keep pace

On the silent highway

Light keeps shifting

River goes on

So do I
