I know I’ve been distant,
but I want you to know I’m still here.
It’s not that I don’t care,
I just haven’t been reaching out.

I’ve been fighting my own battle,
one that feels personal,
and sometimes it’s easier
to face it on my own.

I’ve pulled away,
isolated myself,
but I never intended
to make you feel forgotten.

I’m still here,
and when I’m better,
I’ll come back.
For now, I’m trapped
in my own struggle.

It’s not my intention to hurt you.
I won’t be gone forever—
I just need time
to feel like I belong again.
