i didn't know
that
you
would
be
there.
so when
it happened—
i forgot that
your
presence
is so
fragile
i forgot
because
in panic
all i do is
speak
i speak,
i keep
speaking
i never
wait
to understand
the
distance
because
not a day
goes
by
when you
don't
haunt
me
and even if
it's been
centuries
since we've talked,
it's so difficult to stop
it's so difficult
to hold back
it's so
difficult
to be careful
so you don't break
so you don't disappear
but you still do,
and even though
i told myself,
just one word
is all that i need
from you
i don't even realize when that
one
word
that last word
comes and goes
leaving just distance
a distance that was always there
a distance that will never change.
