they were sleeping at the park and elaine 
slept like a child. her chest rose and fell 
and they felt exposed. no they haven't
done anything stupid but this was 
not what he expected.

they were together. she was a heavy
sleeper but it left him to say sorry, 
to leave her asleep even though 
their legs were tangled together.

slowly he detached himself 
from him and began to walk
silently at the six in the morning
trail.

he was sorry for two things: for 
hurting her and he was sorry 
for not loving her.

this is the conclusion of 
a fairy tale ending and it was
not the happy ever after.

sooner or later, she'll wake up
realizing that maybe the kiss 
was just a dream.
