we had one night
and it came and went like a wave on the shore
with nothing to show,
except what you and i know to be true
we had one night, just one
five entire years in the making
when we existed entirely at a precipice –
hot breath on my neck (yours) fingers inching up my sleeve (yours)
the suspense was killing me
we had one night
one night when everything could have changed
and i suppose it did,
because we haven’t spoken in a year
i don’t think i’ve gone a day without wondering how you are
i hope you’re happier,
i hope you’re found what you were looking for,
that unnameable thing you tried and failed to find in me that night
i hope we meet again
i also hope we don’t,
i know you understand
