Corazon de Poeta

Stalemate

–

We called it caution.
But it looked like…
Typing.
Deleting.
And typing again.

We called it caution.
But it sounded like…
Replaying messages just to hear your voice.
Listening to songs and wondering if you hear them
and think of me, too.

We called it caution.
But it felt…
Silly.

Protecting pieces we already exposed.
Mistaking stillness for control.
Telling ourselves we’ll let time decide
how it unfolds.

So is it strategy or fear-

If we avoid the fall
by refusing to step forward?

If we risk nothing
and lose something
neither of us named?
