For you (4/17/24)

“I really shouldn’t be doing this, but for you I will.” Out of all the thousands and thousands of words you could have—could have—used, I'm still puzzled, trying to decipher if you know the weight your words hold on me and the intention you could hide between the spaces of the letters. Still, a smile grows on my face every time I recount your words; yesterday didn't feel real. Your words consume my mind, I really can only wish you become certain of your feelings instead of playing mind games, which will only leave one of us scared. But for now, I'll keep my heart a safe distance from you because I'm doing this for you, until you decide to drop the act you play.
