✧ I chose the ache of becoming over the comfort of stillness ⋆˚ ˚⋆


I don't carry regret, only growth.
The kind that aches,
before it heals.
Everything I felt,
I needed to feel.

It is the world to me
that you were in my life,

but I want a life that expands me,
not one that asks me to disappear to make room.

I can't stay.
I can't love you in the dark.

You say you want more,
but your actions whisper fear.

You didn't lose me.
You left me unheld.
You gave me up.

Because you were never ready,
to surrender to the moment,
to give up control,
to let go,
to fly.

And when the only home you've known is the cage,
the wind seems like a menace.
