I woke up to u
I woke up to your text. It wasn’t anything grand, just words on a screen, but somehow it felt like more. Maybe because it was late, maybe because I was half-asleep, but there was something about opening my eyes and finding love waiting for me. It made me feel held, even from a distance. Before you, I always said i was fine being alone. I had love in abundance—siblings, parents who carried me as their own, friends I could lean on without question. I never lacked warmth, never lacked company. I used to believe that was enough. And then, you arrived. Sudden, uninvited, and yet so easily rooted in me. I still don’t know how I ended up loving you this much. Sometimes I doubt it all—wonder if you only like me because I like you first, as if you’re humouring me, doing me a kindness. Sometimes I ask myself what you even see in me. Why choose me? What if this is just a game I don’t know I’m playing? But even in the middle of these restless thoughts, you still make me feel loved in a way...
