The atmosphere thickens as my sigh stirs the air near your skin. I stand motionless, unaffected by the external chaos, yet visibly jarred by the care I now feel. Our split was my miscalculation—a detached error in an emotional current I never meant to enter. And yet here you are, an unexpected refuge.

But I don’t hate you. You are important to me, you. Just stay.*
