of daring moments, you must have been so tough. "i love you more. no i love you more. not true i love you more. i think you should leave me." how brave you had to be to love me more & leave me with less. and not recall your departure. a single wanting seed, my years of pleading. i became a tireless fool. maniac for truth. a silent but firm, "No." it took a lot of courage for you to let me make all the moves. i am sorry i hurt you.
i said out loud those hard words you thought. i had to own them. because one time, i knew you. i live with them now like the roommate you made of me. a bike ride through the park is all i wanted.
