complicated words tumbled out of your mouth.
words strung together hastily, tripping over themselves.
you grasped my hands, trying to convince me to stay.
my fingers slipped out as I made to walk away.
I didn’t want you; just liked the thought of someone.
I didn’t need you; you were just an anchor so I didn’t drown.
I didn’t want you; just liked the idea of you.

I didn’t need you; you were just an anchor so I didn’t drown.
I didn’t want you; just liked the idea of you.
