I want to believe in steady things, but even my own reflection changes when I look too long. Are you here? Do you love me? Will you stay? I ask without asking, watching for the answer in the way your hands move, the way your breath hesitates before a word.
I know I feel too much, ask too much, but the silence between us is louder than anything I could say. So I fill it. With words, with fear, with loveβ all spilling over, all too much, all at once.
