i'm not sure what he saw in me.
maybe it was my crooked canine tooth when i smiled
or how i always complained about the heat rather than the cold.
maybe it was how my hands were always ripped,
blessed by the sea water
or how my hair turned blond in the summer, brown in the fall.
i'm not sure what he saw in me.
and now that i'm miles away i can't help but think what happens if i had stayed?
