Did you look her in the eye?
Was your face inviting?
Did you play music,
Did it make everything seem bigger?
More important, substantial?
Or smaller, replaceable, humorous?
Did it make you forget who you were trying to be?
Did it make you forget what the shape of her lips looked like at dusk?
Did it make you forget that you never got to see what they looked like
At dawn
Or daybreak?

How much of yourself was missing?
How much of yourself is missing now?
Have you forgotten it all
Already?
