When there isn’t me, there’s no us.

Have you noticed?

When I don’t talk,
There’s silence between us.

When I don’t call,
There’s distance.

When I don’t text,
We run out of words.

Have you noticed?

When I don’t ask
There’s no openness.

When I don’t show affection
None of us cares.

When I don’t pray
There’s no amen.

Darling, have you noticed?
That I’m the one dating us.
