Of all the things
I thought that
I knew about
you, the one

                                   I don’t
understand still
is why you chose
to take an exit
from the world
that doesn’t

                                   know
your presence
anymore. For
a time, I was able
to have

                                   you,
to love you and
to kiss you. But
since you left,
I don’t get to
have you around

                                   anymore,
and I don’t know
for sure if I ever
really understood
your pain even
though I thought
that I could have.
