I don't say it out loud,
I don't make it obvious,
But there's a truth inside me
That's becoming impossible to miss.
I need you…
More than I let you see,
More than I ever planned,
More than what feels safe for me.
It's in the way I wait,
In the way I care too much,
In the way your absence
Feels like losing a gentle touch.
I try to act normal,
Like I'm still in control,
But deep down I know—
You've already taken that role.
