Though, it were many months into the separation
I still asked out of pure innocence and desperation.
Not wanting to lose maybe that last chance,
Hoping, you'd have a different stance.
"Is it okay for me to wait, a little longer?"
There, I rediscovered a different level of pain
Not too far from where I was already.
Stripping me off that last layer of honor
Reviving new and old ghosts of my anxieties
Just so I could watch you choose her?
