But we were
Once together
For a while.
I doubt you ever
Pleased me
And I can’t find
Any reason
Why I stayed
For just one season
Or how it ever
Got that far.
You never picked up
Leaves in autumn
Or cared about
My problems,
Or paused with me
To look up
At a star.
So, perhaps, I never loved you,
Or put other things
Above you,
But surely
I must have loved you...
For a while.
