You dismissed me immediately.
You didn’t even bother to look me in the eye.
I stood there wondering how you decided so fast.
You had looked so kind,
I thought maybe this one is different.
I decided to be brave, to cross that line.
Within seconds you made me regret it.
I wasn’t ready.
Now it will take even longer.
I fill my mind with reasons to make up for your silent rejection.

Within seconds you made me regret it.
