i want to be here,
even when my instincts tell me to run.
and i would have said—
then let’s build slow.
maybe then,
we would’ve held each other
without flinching.
maybe then,
we could’ve called this love
without wincing
at the sound of our own hearts breaking.

and I know,
even though I love you
and love you welll,
that it will be because
I cannot love myself enough
to tell you when it hurts.
I promise I'm trying.

I’ll be in the wings,
carrying the weight of moments
too small for the script
and too human to forget.
I walk the margins of the tale—
not the flame,
but maybe the quiet warmth it leaves
in the corner of a room.

Not anymore.
I just... grieved you a long time ago.
I sort of hoped you would have noticed.

until your lips told me
you were sorry
that you could never be
with someone like me.
