you weren't supposed to because i knew what would happen.
it did.
i knew you'd hurt me and i knew you wouldn't mean to
it shouldn't hurt me as much as it does,
it was barely a week
barely a kiss on the cheek of desperation and late nights
and standing in the sun waiting for you to unlock your car
and chasing me down the sidewalk
so tall
so small
so short a time
to get my heart reached into and retracted back
because you were already holding on to someone else's
and it wouldn't be fair to hold on to both so just let go of mine
it's fine
it's fine
