You never saw me
as I watched you,
looking for me …
… in all the wrong places.
We got in each other’s way,
and stepped on each other’s toes (egos?),
never touching.
The loneliness consumed me
when I made the leap and
put my heart out on my sleeve
and you kindly (blindly?)
offered me your jacket.
When we meet
to say goodbye,
let us not forget to say
“I’m sorry.”
