Vi

You say “I love you” like it’s air to breatheBut silence fills the space between your honestyYou pull me close, then disappear againAnd I’m left trying to guess where you begin

You give me truth in pieces, never wholeLike I’m supposed to build a bridge with what you don’t showAnd I’m tired of decoding what you meanWhen love shouldn’t feel like solving in-between

Half of you is here, half of you is goneAnd I’m standing still while everything feels wrongI reach for something steady, something realBut I only touch the shadow of how you feel

You say it’s love, but love don’t hide its faceIt doesn’t leave me lost in empty spaceIt doesn’t turn my questions into blameOr burn the trust and call it by another name

And I’m not asking you to be perfect or wholeJust stop leaving pieces I can’t holdBecause I can’t keep loving what I never get to knowI can’t stay where truth refuses to show

Half of you is here, half of you is goneAnd I’m learning how to stand without holding onIf love is real, it shouldn’t feel like thisLike chasing shadows I can’t ever fix
