There's a distance growing between us,
a quiet space where words used to be.
Your eyes don't meet mine as often,
and your laughter seems miles away.

I lie awake, wondering,
if your heart has found another path.
Is there someone else
drawing your smile, your attention?

I notice the small things,
a text you quickly hide,
a name you casually mention,
and my heart clenches in response.

Is my mind playing tricks
or is it truly someone else?

I wish I could ask you
but fear holds my tongue
and there's also a knowing
that you will dance around honesty

Each day, we move further
apart from one another
love is slipping through our fingers...
