Welcome back. Thank you for this. It reads like someone writing from a place of real pain, and I just wanted to say I’m holding that with care. The longing and confusion come through so clearly, especially the sense of losing your footing when someone matters that much. I hope you know you don’t have to carry all of this alone, even if it feels that way right now. Thank you for trusting the page with something so tender.

This poem is a beautiful, terrible struggle and the last couple of lines whisper of a shift in perception. Brilliantly done
