i did love you
but the spaces between my fingers where yours fit like puzzle pieces closed up
the hands that delicately held your heart began to clench and i couldn't bear to let them crush it
so i let go
dropped what i had and ran
filled my excuse to leave with empty promises
filled your bright eyes that haunted my mind with nothingness
the sound of your silken voice that whispered to me in the night faded into static
all the details of who you were to me became panicked
and then vanished
but soon, so quickly your heart is held in a new set of palms
and i have no choice but to swallow it down
taste it for what it is
for the fact that you weren't good enough for me
and i wasn't good enough for you
and the taste of your lips is now familiar to him
i did love you
