just… wait
don’t turn around
…yeah
you don’t call my name
just wait till I slow down
half a step behind
like it’s nothing
you look past me
but never really past
like you’re counting something
you won’t say out loud
you keep watching
like it’s part of the rules
not too close
not far enough to lose
we both know
where this ends if we move
だからこのままでいい
don’t…
just stay there
…that’s enough
I pretend not to notice
the way you pause
same place every day
same quiet
one side feels lighter
one side just… off
still you stay there
like it’s nothing
you keep watching
like you’re not allowed to
never cross
but never really gone
say nothing
and it still gets through
だからこのままでいい
hey…
don’t move
…please
don’t say it
it changes everything
you keep watching
like it’s already known
no mistake
just never said out loud
if we move
there’s no way back from it
だからこのままでいい
stay where you are
…that’s enough
