i know i can't have us
not in the way people keep things
not in the way the world allows
but i fell anyway
slowly but steady
careless but still trying to give you warmth
not invading, not demanding
i saw the signs
the pauses
the distance
i knew sooner or later
you'd slip out of my sight
and still
i stayed
not blind, just choosing to live inside the moments
where your voice made the room feel smaller
and your breathing taught my chest how to breathe like a feather
and for a while, future stops asking questions
i love you, in the moments i'm allowed to
