I fell
too quickly
too hard

For you.

I should've thought more
I should've kept my walls up
I should've waited

I let myself
be carried away

By the passion of my delusions.

I assumed
I tripped
into an abyss

Of us.

I dreamt
of a place, a life where you were mine
a marriage, three kids.

So fast
unprecedented.

You changed,
within a day
my confessions scaring you away

And you slipped,
escaped
from between my fingertips

I lost sight of you
in the haze
of my fear

And lost you to the crowd

You disappeared into the masses
faded from my sight

And never again returned.
