there is a certain pain
in realizing- your lover
wouldn't risk a midnight
stroll to keep with seeing
you. wouldn't go above or
beyond to show her love.
it hurts to have the quaint typicalities of love become
unlikely, suffocated in
calculation- 'work tomorrow,
sleep soon. no walk.' suffocated
in fear- 'possibly a bear. maybe
a cougar. no walk.' everything
a second thought of,

'that's why not.'

*'that's why not.'
You've turned off your phone. I miss you.
I spontaneously suggest something- you don't feel like it.
I plan something- you don't show up.

you always make sure you're safe inside your comfort zone and it worries me.
