That c/a/re/ful/smile
you, you, you,...soeasytotouch
It was as if we'd - been - there - so many times,be _ fore
You leaned into me
....while I》 fell 》into; you.

I still ₩ake
from time.      time.
                  to.
with the [[[ vivid ]]] recollection
of the way you would r _ e _ a _ c _ h
to{tuck}mybangs
behind my ear

to StoP me from hidingmyeyes
How you SearCH//ed THem;
....when. I.  spoke.
you - didn't - want - to - trust
₩hat I had to sa¥
How later you THouGHt me^so^vain^
ifonlyyouhadreallytakenthetimemydear

,...i know you dont-really-know.
I've been s<u<<ck<<<ed in
and }~~ s 》p》i》t》》~ out
so. many. times. i've. lost. count.

....at....b _ e _ s _ t

such sweet kisses,...
what you saw-as-a-lack-of-depth
those times when° my° eyes°
couldn't always meet. with. yours.

《《s u c k 《《 in my breath
your touch made me st>ut>>t>er

&the; tiny. bits. stored. in. my. chest.
raTTLed about in the last bit of hope;
....I had left....
and then you~》>>>> left
Not so dif/fer/ent from. the. rest.
