You can chase the sun, sail every sea,
Climb every peak you dream to see.
But peace won’t come from outer skies—
It lives within, not where it lies.

Until you calm your inner tide,
No place on Earth will feel like pride.

I am the spark they tried to dim,
The quiet voice that learned to swim.
Not every scar was meant to stay—
Some taught me how to walk away.

I’m not my past, I’m something new—
An untold truth just breaking through.

I wrote a poem,
hoping you'd see
But I changed my mind,
I'm keeping it for me
Today isn't special,
just a Thursday in July
Everyday it's easier,
you're further out my mind

I’ve been the storm, I’ve been the tree,
Breaking down and breaking free.
The deeper pain, the higher climb—
My soul’s grown wiser over time.

I don’t just bloom—I rise, I bend,
A story still I’ve yet to end.

I miss you more than I can say,
But I respect your choice to stay away.
No calls, no texts—just quiet air,
But still, I send you love from there.

We’re not a "we" like we once were,
But I’d be your friend, if you prefer.
No pressure, just a gentle truth—
I’ll care for you, with or without proof.

I see the universe inside of you,
A galaxy in every view.
Your soul is made of stars and light,
A cosmic fire burning bright.

But even suns can fade and stray,
And drift from love that begs to stay.
So if you go, just know it's true—
The universe still lives in you.

I miss you more than I let show, in quiet nights and song,
But reaching out feels one-sided, like I’m always wrong.
You’ve got my number, know my door—still silence fills the air,
And though I ache, I won’t chase love that won’t meet halfway there.

It’s strange how I can miss you so, yet you don’t seem to flinch,
While every memory pulls me back, you haven’t moved an inch.
I won’t forget, but I’ll stand still—my heart deserves that too,
Because missing me, just like I do, was always up to you.
