He is looking away
he is looking at something
beyond you
as if doing so will erase regret
as if doing so will erase you
when he turns to you
he says I’m sorry
but what he means is
this was a mistake
when you turn to him
you say goodbye
but what you mean is
I’m correcting my mistakes

He is looking away
he is looking at something
beyond you
as if doing so will erase regret
as if doing so will erase you
when he turns to you
he says I’m sorry
but what he means is
this was a mistake
when you turn to him
you say goodbye
but what you mean is
I’m correcting my mistakes
