i wrote this song based on past experience in my last relationship: When I asked for some time alone, it never meant that I loved you any less. It wasn't because I wanted to leave, find someone else, or walk away from what we had. I was carrying things inside me that I didn't know how to explain, things I needed to understand on my own before I could bring them into our relationship. Looking back, I know it was a lot to ask of you, and I'm sorry for the hurt and confusion it caused. Maybe I should have communicated it better, maybe I should have reassured you more, but the truth is that I still needed that time. Not because my love for you was fading, but because I didn't want my struggles to become your burden. I was trying to figure myself out instead of dragging you through a battle that wasn't yours to fight. I wish you had known that needing space wasn't me choosing life without you—it was me trying to become someone who could love you better when I came back.
