How do you know if the person you love is also the one holding you down?

Is it when your chest tightens before you even speak?
Is it when you realize you are holding your breath—not in anger, not in fear—but in waiting?

Waiting for him to return to himself.
Waiting for the man you remember.
Waiting for the version of him that once made you feel safe, desired, expanded.

What do you do when there is no air with him
and no air without him?
