✈️ 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 Prosecco 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 feelings.

Not flashbacks.

Not failures.
