i should have said something
d i f f e r e n t
maybe you wouldn't have thought
i was boring
it had a spark then
in the summer
in the midst of sweat
and swimming pools
and smores
and tents

i shouldn't have let it
go because it's making me
think think think over and over
again that you never cared
you returned for a split second
a moment never to forget
like moses parting the red sea
the waves were paused for just
a little section of time
that everything could be
forgotten if only this was
to exist

but it's gone.
it's caused an insomniac,
complain, complain
till the emptiest days
where none of it
really meant
anything, y'know?
