No
I don't feel comfortable around you no more
The thought of meeting you no longer brings excitement
But dread
Of how am I going to fill in the gaps
And look like I'm interested
It's strange
But surely I've been blind
To the hint of jealousy in your voice
It's always been there
Yet I'm only just starting to notice
There is a tremor of comparison and rivalry in all that you speak
I'm starting to find I don't care how you've been
The words that dreamt big
And once captured me
Have been swallowed by the bigger lies you tell you and I
And perhaps just maybe
The closeness I felt
Was an attachment out of habit
It could be that we never really hit it off at all
Because now I see inconvenience
And time and distance
And all other separating factors
That shouldn't even be an issue
