i am two steps behind your
quick pace and i am thinking that
i never truly knew you.
and it makes me sad.
i wanted to be more than the
lover you thought about while you were
taking your shoes off at the end of the night.

i wanted to be the one who made you wince
because you couldn't take how real it was
to sleep a night without her.

but there is nothing to say now.
we are the kind of over that never looks back.
sad sex in the morning with too much eye contact
because we know this will be the last time
and we want to hold on to the good
before it became bad.
