Momentarily Mine
I clung to you like a shadow
afraid to leave, afraid to do anything alone
It was love, yes —
but formed from fear and need,
not the quiet kind that stays whole
I asked for distance, yet still I reached
because my heart was learning —
to protect itself
while pretending to let go
We were a moment, intense
and I loved you then,
for the way I needed to love,
Not forever
Just for then.
