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
