✈️ Catch Flights Not Feelings
“I don’t do roundtrips to regret.”
I pack light, love heavy, and leave codependency at the gate.
See, you wanted boarding privileges with no emotional passport.
Wanted to check your insecurity in my carry-on.
Wanted to board my body like Spirit but get Delta treatment.
But baby, I don’t fly basic.
You’re not cleared for takeoff if turbulence is your love language.
I’ve upgraded my boundaries to first class,
And you’re still stuck trying to flirt at baggage claim.
I’m sipping ginger ale with legroom while your ‘I miss you’
Gets flagged as a security threat.
Because every time you text,
I hear the intercom say: “Unclaimed trauma at Gate 9.”
So no, I won’t circle back.
No, I won’t miss my window.
And no, you cannot rebook what you fumbled.
I catch flights.
Not flashbacks.
