I don’t understand because when you shook my hand I saw a flash in your eyes that looked like waking up but was probably just the stars reflecting off the sky
I don’t understand because when we started talking you crouched down to my ground seated level so that your stars were staring straight at mine
I don’t understand because I could feel you from every point of the crowded room and when you left the air felt dead and I just wanted to feel your sting again
You like poetry and you respond to my messages
I don’t understand because when you sauntered towards me on the platform by the C I felt small and nervous when you flashed a big smile
I don’t understand because we couldn’t stop talking until we were forced to stop talking and started to listen and I wanted to reach out and touch
I don’t understand because when it was over it was really over and you seemed sad to let me step off that train
I don’t understand because I didn’t hear from you and had to ask where you were and when I finally found you the stars had gone out of your eye or the shades were pulled down over the light and we shared the most awkward hug
Until you turned away
I don’t understand because I didn’t feel like staying to say goodbye so I just left you there
I don’t understand because you said it was nice to have made my acquaintance when what I wanted you to say was “can I see you again right now or tomorrow”
I don’t understand because I slipped so far so fast
Make up a life for everyone I see or I meet and nobody is making up a life for me
I don’t understand because all I’m sensing is distance when there wasn’t even any closeness to fill it with in the first place
I could share this with you but who want to put themselves out on a rafts that’s going nowhere
I ‘d rather climb into the lake sink to the bottom and live in my dreams
