The moment I realized

Where everything fell into place
Even if it was just for a second

Is engraved into my brain

Just a single smile
That's all it was
Not even directed at me
It was just something
I happened to catch a glimpse of

But I spent five minutes
Just trying to collect myself


In the middle of writing this,
You said it wasn't going to work out
Now I can't even finish
The motivation is lost

Thank you for giving it to me
In the first place
Even though you took it away
Halfway through

-you made me write for the first time in years
