I know about this,
this dark stillness illuminated
only by a single streetlight.
orange glow over everything
and we try
to forget
that we ever cared.
I know about this,
this quiet loneliness surrounded
by unending pavement.
dotted lines marking the way
to nowhere
just like
every other time before.
But
rewind, lighting fast,
because this hasn’t happened
yet
Today is the beginning,
shy smiles across the room
before we know anything
and I want to tell you,
I am a prophet and love
always hurts in the end but please,
please don’t
keep your distance.
