You and I were something
I had never planned.
I thought ours would be
Another moment lost in the sand
On my shores.
Not sure of what I wanted anymore.
I told myself I wouldn’t overthink.
We’d have our fun,
Have some drinks,
You’d be gone
Within the week,
But you stayed.
Rearranging the messes I’d made.
My self-destructive tendencies on full display
Never scared you away.
Even in the silences
Your heart always knew
All the right words to say
-K.N.B.
