An eon ago I thought I knew you. We shared heart and breath, touch and laughter. I told you my pains, heard your meaningless response. I just wanted you to understand, I silently begged -don't do this to me. Now I avoid your gaze, and drop the conversation when you won't reply. I don't push too hard, I give you the space I never needed. You drop out suddenly, vanish completely. I think it's been five months, but what's it matter? It's been six months and eighteen days. I don't know you anymore. And I never want to.
