It’s the smallest things

Feedback Please

When a single string on a guitar slips,
the whole song feels different
not broken, just not the same.

A slight drop in temperature,
and suddenly, the air feels colder
than it should.

A pinch too much salt,
and the entire dish changes
one small thing,
but impossible to ignore.

Maybe it’s the same with us.

It wasn’t something big
just the way you paused before replying,
the way your words felt distant
even when they sounded normal.

Nothing was clearly wrong,
yet everything felt different.

A tiny shift,
so small I couldn’t explain it
but big enough
to stay with me.

So no, nothing is ever really small.
Because sometimes,
it’s the smallest things
that change everything.
