we all make them. they happen to the best of us. 


i cant even tell you what time it was. 

the tv was on. 

and i had to use the restroom. 

i walked out of the bedroom. 

you werent on the sofa, you werent inside. 

i wanted to mind my business, so i used the restroom. 

i got back in bed. 

and fell asleep. 

the next morning, you still werent there. 

i wasnt nervous, just confused. 

when i was little my mom would disappear for weeks at a time. 

she would come back and act like nothing happened. 

as if she was never gone. 

i cant say i didn't hate it, but getting worried about her got old. 

for you it was no different. 

youd turn up eventually. 

hopefully alive. 

and i dont know what you did or what or who you worked for, but i had no concern. 

i wish i had, 

i wish a lot of things. but regret hardly anything. 

like meeting you. 

thats something ill never regret. 

no matter what i find out.
