more of my life.
I’ll admit, I romanticized all of your movements.
Said you were 70 degrees in February.
A sidewalk that’s three people wide,
The feeling of knowing what to say at the right time.
I told people you rewrote my underdog design,
That I was lucky to have guessed right on the first try.
Now, time has elapsed and all of me was wrong,
For painting you in a haze.
We didn’t give each other space to fail.
Or grow.
Or stay.
But if I’m honest,
I wish to go back in time.
So I could love you for more of my life.
