Maybe it was jealousy.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvSs2nQY9c
Or maybe… it was something harder to name.
That quiet ache in your chest when someone you care about starts smiling a little more —132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVbr6f55ZP
but not because of you.
I kept asking myself:132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y2nFWeU75
Was I being possessive? Was I trying to cage something that was never mine to begin with?
But no.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9o68fBnnj
It wasn’t that.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFH01xZMrj
It never was.
I wasn’t trying to protect you from someone.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7DuiLChQM
I wasn’t trying to compete.
I was just scared.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGaFDmjpXj
Terrified, actually.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi3o1Izsyh
That maybe... Ren would take you away.
But then —132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEdXDthJ4M
one long evening, sitting with my thoughts louder than the world around —132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q4WvYaT2L
I understood something.
People don’t get stolen.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ja0LhE4y
They drift.
Toward what makes them feel lighter.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDDYOLm2ia
Toward the sun they didn’t know they missed.
And sometimes love —132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQLh1b0WYT
love makes us believe that there’s nothing brighter than what we have right now.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgpVmh61aP
That this, this, is the brightest moment the world can ever offer.
But that’s a lie love tells.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMqKGYdahn
Because love is blind,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2O7WdtqTU
and people are not.
And so I questioned it all.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuIt2uoxC2
Not love.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc26Wv7Hx8o
But the things we confuse for love.
The need to be someone’s only.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC9tCpVvWf
The quiet wish that they’ll never find better than you.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CvFlLg29h
The fear that if they do — they’ll forget you ever existed.
Is that love?132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SRQPOhcuV
Or is that greed in disguise?
Maybe the worst kind of greed —132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOYoAD96J3
the one that wants to own a heart that was only meant to be held gently,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGam5TqtgSz
not gripped tight.
You see,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbolSm3edD
I wasn’t jealous.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJZpS289E8
Not really.
I was just scared of losing us.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1xEBEsiKx
The us we created in tiny moments —132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFT5TfZYBY
walking beside buses, laughing at nonsense,132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl7bBc7QeY
holding on to silences like they were the most honest things we ever said.
I was scared of losing that version of you I named Forevermore.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpHppDf6q8
And the version of me that only ever existed around you.
But then —132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgiKIZANOC
I also realized something else.
It’s not someone else that breaks two people apart.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2zw1rYsNB
It’s not Ren. Or time. Or coincidence.
It’s us.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eN7WKZP4t
Me. And you.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMJDiKJ1ZY
Choosing, or failing, to hold on.132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxyUApYbLa
Letting go, not because someone better came along…132Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCca0wpQY8B
but because we forgot how to see each other like we used to.
And that’s what broke my heart the most.
