"Because I don't want to make it harder for her.
Because I don't want to be the thing that complicates her life.
Because I know what it's like to carry something quietly and not know where to put it.
So I settle. I settle with distance. With silence.
With pretending that the absence of her name in my mouth means the absence of her in my head. Because it's my brothers girlfriend of a few years."
