Peter

I think I was just this person you knew
briefly, even, one might say
for a few lightweight moments
a handful of dates

And weren’t you just someone to circle back to
one sunny day in the unspecified future
after becoming wiser, and less insecure

So tell me why I cannot stop crying, it’s been days
I keep thinking:
I really should go and tell you
You meant something
To me
