Being together

I wouldn't say you are my everything
not now.
That isn't bad, though.
Before you were everything,
even the air you were.
But now you are not.

It's about maturity
You are not (my) everything
yet you are the most important thing in here.
You could leave, and I wouldn't be broken to pieces
(broken yes, but not to pieces)

That's the thing about grown-up love
or mature love
we do not depend on each other anymore.
We are a complement and not a must, and that's the difference.

We are here because we choose to be,
not because we cannot breathe without this.

It makes a (huge) difference.

Don't you think?
