Air Between Us

I don't love loudly,

I don't ask to be held tighter


I stay where I can still breathe


If I step back,

it's not because you lacked something — 

it's because I refuse 

to lose myself quietly


I carry affection

the way birds carry the sky — 

without owning it, without falling


So if I ever leave, 

know this — 


I didn't choose distance over you

I chose honesty 

over disappearing
