she talks and i listen like it’s my favorite verse.

[riftwithin]

i love discovering all the little things that make her, her.

[riftwithin]

you’re still on my mind, even when we ain’t on the same page.

[riftwithin]

i don’t think people talk enough about how it feels to choose distance from someone you still care about. someone who you love. someone who u want to be with. it’s not anger. it’s not indifference. it’s just… love that doesn’t know where to go anymore.

and as my final act of love, i had to let you go. even though my heart keeps telling me i’m abandoning you, something i never wanted you to feel.

but i’m learning that i’m not abandoning anyone. i’m just accepting that staying close was hurting both of us in different ways.

i don’t want to be selfish anymore. so this is my last act of love: letting go.

[riftwithin]

i don’t want to make you mine just to keep you; i want to learn you like language.

[riftwithin]

we’re too focused on forever in a temporary world.

[riftwithin]

i don’t just love her; i honor every part of her.

[riftwithin]

you don’t even realize the space you take up in my head.
