how did it happen?
how did you get taken away and stay taken for so long?
there must've been a reason.
i wanted to ask you, but i didn't have the courage.
i never asked.

i should've.
i should've asked why you were pushing it to the side.
i should've asked why you're trying to seem fine, when you're not.
but i didn't.
instead, i used my mouth to make out with you in secretive places.

'corner store, 4:20pm'
you couldn't get more secretive than a corner store.

i should've asked.
