Tonight

Tonight
I want to call you
to see if you miss me
if you still think of me
everyday
and give thanks

That's what you
said
once or twice
wrote
a time or two

And at the beginning
you were excited
about me
about us
never having had
this kind, my kind
of conversations
ever before
in your life

and you felt
the only explanation
for your impetuous
behaviour was that
I
had happened to you

You knew the definition
of intimacy or
had a vision
of what could be

We came so close

Why did you turn
your gaze away
and passively run?

leaving me to do all the work.
