we’ve talked a few times
a couple of months after
we agreed to never speak again
and I got it this time.
we are no good for each other
we have chemistry and
I got burned
by your heat
in your car and in your
bed where you sleep alone
most days
i’m sleeping with anyone else
just to keep warm.
and I will always do this
no matter whom I’d rather next to me
because this is who i am.
I play games and never reciprocate feelings.
we both felt it this time
and too afraid to light a match
holding dynamite in our hands.
we ran.
