The answer you would deny if told directly

The Pull:

You already know what you're waiting on isn't coming.
You keep checking for signs, but the absence is the sign.
You want this to mean something more.
You want the silence to be circumstantial,
the distance to be temporary,
the coldness to be unintentional.

But the part of you that already suspects the truth?
That part is right.

And yet - -
you wait.

Because hope is easier than acceptance,
and longing feels more alive than letting go.
Denial, in your case, is survival.
But not healing.
