Temporary

I trust you.

I said the words, but they were empty. My guard was up, and my feelings were high. I told you what I could but tried to keep most of it out of sight. You spilled your guts and gave me everything on a sliver platter. The dinner was cold. I bit into it, and it felt warm. You told me a story, and I took it as it was even though I thought it all as a lie.

I liked what you were but feared what you could be. I could never be too careful.

You called me a name I didn't know, even if it's what I gave you.
I was only a vision of what you dreamed I'd be, but it wasn't reality. I snapped a picture of what you wanted to see, only you couldn't see the faintest outline of the real me.

You cried, you laughed, joked, and flirted all in just a day. You thought you could sweep me away. I fell flat down and scraped myself up again to let you go as quickly as you got there.

Heres the goodbye. I never got to tell you because fortunately you left first, that was before you came crawling back. I ignored you and didn't even give a bye even if I had enjoyed our time.

You were a nice moment, but you were only a split minute in my timeline. So this is my final
Goodbye,

It was nice to meet you, even though you were only temporary.
