i stand in the silence between what’s said,  
a love that lingers, a love that bled.  
one promises, soft as a lie  
the other burns with a question in its eye.  

one says "forever" but i feel the weight.
the other stays quiet, afraid of fate.  
one is fire, bright and untamed
the other’s a shadow, untouchable, unnamed.  

both make me feel like i’m meant to choose
but neither tells me which one to lose.  
i’m caught in the space where i can’t decide,  
between the love that’s loud and the one that hides.  

one pulls me close but leaves me cold,  
the other stays afar but wants to hold.  
and i wonder if i’ll ever know  
which love will break me and which one will let me grow.
