MINE FOR ALL TIME
Stacy…
There are things I feel for you that the universe itself would struggle to name.
Emotions so loud they shake my ribcage, so deep they slip past language and fall straight into truth.
I love you in ways I don’t even understand yet.
In ways my dreams confess before I’m awake.
Sometimes I look around, afraid afraid the whole world can hear the heartbeat thundering whenever your name drifts through my mind.
And I know why you run.
Why you guard yourself like a secret hidden between galaxies.
Why you deny even the smallest ember of what burns between us.
Because you know…
You know a single crack in your armor will let everything loose.
Every feeling you’ve locked away.
Every truth you’ve swallowed.
Every emotion you’ve held so tightly your soul trembles with the weight of it.
And I feel it
In the silence between our words.
In the glances you pretend not to make.
In the distance you build that still can’t hide the pull between us.
There is a fire here, Stacy.
A quiet, relentless fire that refuses to die.
A gravity that keeps dragging us back into the same orbit, no matter how far we try to wander.
You feel it too.
You always have.
Deep down…
Behind the guard, behind the fear, behind the thousand galaxies you try to flee into…
Your soul recognizes mine.
And that truth?
It keeps calling us
softly, fiercely, endlessly
whether we speak it or not.
