You were calm in a room I couldn’t sit in

Always five steps ahead, always finished

You talked in numbers, I talked too fast

You were so sure, I never asked

You moved through silence like it meant something

I filled the space with anything

You offered plans, I disappeared

But you stayed — you always stayed right here

And I’m hard to love, but you don’t flinch

You make it easy not to quit

You keep me steady, I get lost

You write the list, I cross it off

I’m a mess you never try to fix

You’re the calm, and I’m the risk

I forget what I meant to say

But you never walk away

You fold your shirts and make your bed

I stay in mine and overthink instead

You always know what’s coming next

I chase a thought and leave the rest

You get up early, I stay in

You do the work, I feel the wind

We say things differently, still it lands

You hold my fear in open hands

And I’m hard to love, but you don’t flinch

You make it easy not to quit

You keep me steady, I get lost

You write the list, I cross it off

I’m a mess you never try to fix

You’re the calm, and I’m the risk

I forget what I meant to say

But you never walk away

You could’ve chosen something simpler

But you saw something in the blur

Now I trace your freckles just to stay

And you hold me like I’m not afraid

I’m not a checklist, I’m a flood

But you still hold me like I’m enough

You take your time, I miss the signs

But somehow we still arrive

Not perfect, but we’re fine

Still mine
