Well, when I really did

was those moments I couldn’t hold her

in my thoughts

even hundreds of miles away,

I knew she was no longer imagining me,

while I imagined her.

My life stayed the same

and she found new intrigues

not even meant to help her forget

only to allow her to move on.

He didn’t get it,

held on,

didn’t let go and lost everything within his grasp.

When one day he awoke

to see how quickly he wrapped himself

around her existence,

he stepped back,

thought a bit,

and realized

what a cad he’d been.
