the truth about us
a pantoum
i saw you crying once in a daydream.
it is the only place where you ever
loved me as much as i wanted you to.
maybe i am better off without you.
it is the only place where you ever
understand how much you have meant to me.
maybe i am better off without you
creeping into my thoughts at your leisure.
understand how much you have meant to me,
but know that while you may often feel like
creeping into my thoughts at your leisure,
you may not easily enter my heart.
i don’t think i could ever tell you that
i saw you crying once in a daydream.
everything might have been different if you
loved me as much as i wanted you to.
