communication

I just want you to know

about all the things

we’ve never talked about. 

Communication wasn’t a word we knew

and while we flew through the dark sky

I still felt closer to earth than ever before.

Walking through the forest in your eyes,

I didn’t find an ending that I liked.

And while I never told you,

I had hoped that you could’ve

read my mind.

We just knew we wouldn’t survive.

The strings of hope broke over time.

I got attached too quickly, too fast

and you couldn’t hold up with my pace.

I never would have thought that I’d say this

but meeting you wasn’t the greatest deal.

Separation wasn’t your final choice

but the one I had dreamed about

since meeting you.

I just wanted you to know.
