When you called,
I answered.
I was in another country
building a life
without you.
You said come back
and I
left everything
distance,
healing,
my new beginning
for a past
that still had your name.
I crossed borders
for a promise
you never intended to keep.
I arrived
with hope in my hands
and found
a wedding ring
that was never mine.
In one moment
I understood:
you did not call me back
to love me
you called me back
to watch you
choose someone else.

I arrived
with hope in my hands
and found

that was never mine.
In one moment
I understood:
you did not call me back
to love me
you called me back
to watch you
choose someone else.
