was there really "soon"?

or did you just "not mind" being loved by me?

the distance and time between us

reminds me how i fell for you.

slowly, knowingly, yet so thoughtlessly.

i just knew you were the one,

until i didn't anymore.

i can't measure the thoughts

that i try to wipe out anymore.

your eyes flash before mine

when i close them.

so i open them only to witness the reality

that i've always been escaping.
