I’ve been realizing
She’s not in a place of reciprocating
In general
And there are days that are everything
When she gives and gives
Likes she’s trying to make up for the time
She’s distant
Or pushes away again
But I know it’s been leaning
Just a little bit toxic
In the learning
Not quite back like the beginning
When she asked and listened
Maybe it’ll never be that
Off in the distance
Or maybe it’s just the reality
Of the overwhelm and all the space
Taken up in her brain
Sometimes you can’t quite get the same magic
Over again
But it’s only grown toward the sunlight
No trellis to shape in sight
Like nature intends
But I do not know Her ways
If it will end
Up in a better place
Or harsh truths I’m preparing for
Just in case
But I trust the journey
And find the magic anyway
