It’s like the sun went out.

I am in perpetual night;

The slightest touch of you

Thrills my heart.

Where do I start?

I have no skill at lying,

Maybe but I can’t.

Love goes deep with me,

The transparency

Of what we had

I can’t forget.

You knew me

And I knew you.

The value

Of that relation

Is not complicated;

You have your life to lead

And so I wasn’t good enough.

I do not offer an explanation,

But it is true.

You never mean’t to hurt me

But the pain I feel inside

I cannot confide.

I knew I was right

That night in the restaurant,

On our first date.

It thrills me live with me

But you are too clever

To fall for my pride.
