you went ahead,

you walked before me, in a hurry, fervent

i followed, alight, in love


but


hesitating more and more

until

one day

i slowed down

too much

and eventually stopped

my hand let go of your hand


~~~


you went ahead,
you kept on walking
not having even noticed
that you have been walking all alone
for quite some time
