Not mine to keep	A
I didn t mean for you to matter	B
you were just meant to quiet the evenings	C
to sit beside the loneliness	D
in a town that didn t know my name	E
	-
But you became warmth	F
the kind that settles into the body	G
the kind that makes restless nerves go still	H
Not mine to keep	A
	-
I learned the shape of you in ordinary things	C
car rides half finished conversations	I
the way silence didn t feel empty	G
when you were in it	J
Not mine to keep	A
	-
I didn t ask for forever	B
I just forgot there wasn t one	K
Not mine to keep	A
	-
Now nights are colder	B
not just the air	L
but the space where you used to be	G
without me having to ask	M
Not mine to keep	A
	-
And it hurts in places	N
I can t explain	O
in my chest in my thoughts	P
in the quiet moments that stretch too long	Q
Not mine to keep	A
	-
I think of giving	R
a blanket a phone a reason to return	S
as if kindness could rewrite	T
what truth has already said	U
Not mine to keep	A
	-
You belonged to another life	V
one I could only glimpse in shadows	W
in missed calls	X
in stories that didn t quite add up	Y
in a world that existed just beyond me	G
Not mine to keep	A
	-
Still what I felt was real	Z
the calm the closeness	A2
the way my guard slipped	B2
without me noticing	R
Not mine to keep	A
	-
And now I sit with the absence of it	J
learning slowly painfully	G
that peace shouldn t come	C2
from someone who also breaks it	J
Not mine to keep	A
	-
So I let you go	D2
not because I didn t feel enough	E2
but because feeling wasn t enough to stay	F2
Not mine to keep	A
	-
And maybe one day	F2
this ache will soften into something quieter	B
not forgetting	R
but understanding	R
	-
That I was not nothing	R
I was simply	G
loving in the wrong place	G2
Not mine to keep	A
