#emotionalhomes
i’m yours. that’s the saddest part— belonging without being chosen. i look for comfort where the hurt was born, like returning to a house that no longer knows my name. you were my home. now i knock, and wait, and wonder when love started needing permission. i don’t ask for love anymore. i ask for space that doesn’t feel like abandonment. still, i stay— not because it’s safe, but because leaving hurts in a way i already understand.
