I saw you today
You seemed
DifferentMaybe it's
Because
We didn't talk
Last
NightLike we used to
But you've lost
Your glowAre you tired?
Are you angry?
Or perhaps
My pulling away
Caused you pain?I'm sorry
I didn't mean toBut
You and I
Both knewThat we couldn't be
This closeWithout someone
Getting hurtAnd now I fear
I hurt you anyways
While trying
Not
To.
