like the thin air,
you slipped
between my fingertips
i tried to hold
on to you,
us, and
what we shared
together
i wanted it to
stay in tact
but there was no
use
it was all
slipping away,
i could feel
the distance
between me and you
i had to let go
of what i wanted
you to be
i was living in
a dream
and it was time
to face reality.
