Checkers and Chess
We talked nearly every day
I told you things I hadn’t told anyone else
We bonded really well
Even went on dates together
You said you liked me
And I came to realize I loved you
you were emotionally unavailable
and yet you still led me on
The emotions caught up with us
And you said it was too much for you
You disappeared into thin air
left me broken and angry
And after all this time
I came to realize
You were playing checkers
while I was playing chess
