Still here.
I overthink things
I really do. Every word. Every moment. Sometimes I get stuck in my own head, trying to say the right thing instead of just saying the honest thing.
But then there's you
And somehow, everything gets quieter. Not because the questions disappear, but because they don't feel as heavy anymore.
We're different
I overthink. You don't. I worry about timing. You just show up. And somehow, it works.
Even when we're not together
I still feel you with me. In the little moments. In the pauses. In the way I catch myself smiling at nothing in particular.
I've practiced this
More than once. Different versions. Different tones. (Some better than others.)
So instead of overthinking it again
I'm just going to say it. Plain. Honest. Exactly how I feel.
