STILL YOUR OWN

“Still Your Own” is a song about loving someone deeply without trying to possess them. We often confuse intimacy with complete access. We want to know every thought, understand every silence, enter every hidden room. Sometimes that desire comes from love. Sometimes it comes from fear—the fear that if we cannot fully understand someone, we may not be able to keep them. But real love does not erase individuality. “I can hold your hand without closing it.” Still Your Own explores the difficult balance between closeness and freedom, trust and uncertainty, belonging and identity. It asks whether two people can share a life without consuming one another—and whether love can remain curious even after certainty disappears. The song is also about learning that silence does not always mean rejection, privacy does not necessarily mean betrayal, and another person's inner life does not need to become our property. Perhaps intimacy is not finally saying, “I know everything about you.” Perhaps it is saying: “There is still more of you I want to meet.” Not inspect. Not control. Not own. Meet.
