I don’t love you anymore
you said
and I stood there
not quite sure I heard you right
what do you mean? I ask
needing that split second, before you respond
to wrap my head around the idea
of you, falling out of love, with me
I didn’t really need to ask
I asked anyway
maybe, I hoped, if I asked
you’d change your mind
maybe, I hoped, if I asked
you’d explain yourself, give me reasons
maybe, I hoped, if i asked
you’d say something different
maybe, I don’t know, maybe
I adjusted to the thought that, in that split second,
in as few as 5 words
my world had changed
you had changed
I had changed
and
we could never go back
No amount of split seconds of regret or remorse
could change that fact
