6 a.m. Conversations

Some people think love dies.

Nah, most of the time, it just gets dry.

And if we’re being honest, a lot of relationships didn’t fall apart…
they just stopped getting watered.

No conversation.
No laughter.
No “you good?” moments.

Just two people, coexisting like coworkers on a long shift nobody asked for.

And then one day, somebody says,
“I think we’re growing apart.”

Nah…
y’all just stopped pouring.

Because here’s the truth grown folks don’t always say out loud:

You don’t notice dryness right away.

It creeps in.

First, it’s less talking.
Then it’s shorter replies.
Then it’s silence that don’t feel peaceful. It feels distant.

Next thing you know,
you sitting right next to somebody you love…
and it feel like y’all on two different islands.

But here’s the part I’ve learned…

Just because it’s dry, doesn’t mean it’s dead.

See, dead things don’t respond.

But dry things?
Dry things are just waiting on water.

And that’s where April comes in.

Not storms.
Not overcompensating.
Not “let me fix everything in one night.”

Just, consistent rain.

A random text.
A real laugh.
A “come here for a second” hug that wasn’t scheduled.
A conversation that ain’t about bills, kids or responsibilities.

Just pouring, little by little.

And let me say this with a small smile.

Some of y’all out here waiting for your partner to water you first.

Meanwhile, both of y’all holding empty buckets…
looking at each other like it’s a staring contest.

That ain’t how gardens grow.

Sometimes the strongest move in a relationship is this:

“I’m going to water this, even if it hasn’t rained yet.”

Not because you’re desperate.
Not because you’re forcing it.

But because you recognize something still living…
and you’re not about to let it dry out on your watch.

And watch what happens.

A little laughter comes back.
A little softness returns.
A little “there you go” look across the room shows up again.

All from something small.

That’s how this month is going to move.

We’re not reviving with pressure…
we’re restoring with presence.
