lately love feels heavier than it used to
every conversation turns into another argument
another silence
another kind of distance
today i watched your name stay active
while my message stayed unopened
and maybe it seems small
but small things hurt differently
when your heart is already tired
you said
“i don’t always need to reply”
and maybe you’re right
but i think i just wanted to feel
like hearing from me mattered
because i answer you
like you are part of me
and sometimes it feels like
i only exist in your life
when there’s space left for me
i still love you
even through the distance
even through the silence
even through the feeling
that i’m becoming easier to ignore
and i don’t know what hurts more
the silence
or realizing
how lonely love can become
when only one person keeps reaching first

lately our relationship feels heavier than peaceful. we argue more than we understand each other, and when you go distant it hurts more than i can explain. seeing you active while i was left on delivered made me feel unimportant. i’m not asking for constant attention, i just miss feeling close to you instead of always questioning where i stand with you.
