My Version With Her

Her connection didn't come with a name,

she just happened.

We weren't strangers,

we were never friends,

nor lovers.

But a quiet relationship,

I still cannot name it.

We had no labels,

and we had no explanation for us.

Just two hearts

that quietly chose each other,

and I never needed the world to understand.

Our bond existed beyond definitions,

that simply meant to be experienced.

She made my life little softer,

her presence felt safe,

and her smile gave comfort.

Some connections aren't loud,

but she quietly changed me forever.

When she entered my life,

she made it better

simply because she was there.

She gave me a good feeling,

after that my life wasn't the same,

without her.

My love never needed to be proved

by begging her to stay,

I thought if she could be happy without me,

the best thing I could give was my absence.

I lost the version of me

that would never have existed without her.
