I held your hand as you disentangled from her you did not move closer to me I assuaged your worst fears you fueled mine I was fully present and attentive you took calls that came in . . . and didn’t call back I asked questions you answered different ones I made you a playlist you never acknowledged I made plans and reservations you did not show I gave you the benefit of every doubt you did not reassure me I made myself vulnerable you remained ensconced I created space in my life you did not explore I dared to dream about us you dreamed about . . . I don’t know I gave you my body you reached for your phone I gave you my heart you did not reciprocate I get it now you are just not that into me Only wish I knew sooner. Goodbye.
