I forgot to tell you
the last time I was there

when I kept my hand from reaching you
from brushing through your
hair

and that way you looked
at me, detached
and unaware

How'd we end up here?

I forgot to tell you,
it just made us seem so small

defining us to simple words
while running through them all

and the way I said I needed you
love, paper,
ink, and
scrawl

How come I left you in the fall?
