Poem: Because you asked

note: actually, you didnt ask. but i thought you should know.

Because you asked
and I answered.

If it was

the seconds of silence where I really didn't care
that you and I weren't talking,

or those minutes of kisses that you
and I both knew weren't great
but were so much goddamn fun;

If it was

staying out late in your room and seeming
to levitate with you,

or those days apart where you wondered
where I was but knew
how to get me back from that dark world;

If it was

us losing track of all time for three hours and saying
how relieved we were to find each other,

or sharing candies wrapped
up in wrappers as thin as our knowledge
of each other right then...

If you have to ask:

No. I haven't forgotten you.

You don't get off that easy.
