When The Distance Breathes

Fourteen days a year, you make the world feel soft—

Your arms a dream I never want to wake from.

But when distance pulls you back into your life,

my fears return like shadows that never fade.

“Is he still mine when I’m not there?”

Though you’ve never given me a reason to doubt.

I love you like a heartbeat in an empty room,

but my mind storms like thunder chasing the moon.

Are you honest? Are you leaving?

Or am I just afraid to lose something this beautiful?

Our love tastes sweet—

but it rises and crashes like a rollercoaster.

You say I’m your only one,

and God, I want to believe it.

But long nights turn my thoughts into battlegrounds,

wondering if I’m your future

or a memory that fades when I’m gone.

When we meet again, the world turns new—

Fourteen days that heal everything.

But when you leave,

the storm inside me wakes again.

I love you like a prayer sent into the sky,

yet distance makes me question every shadow.

You’re heaven when you’re close,

and a rollercoaster when you’re far.

Still, I choose you—

every year, every mile, every fear.

Through all my overthinking,

you remain the truth I run back to.
