I did not know
or expect
more than I
should
when returning
was what was said.

As promise was
not a word
You used or
maybe not
for me. And could
only guess
for anyone else.

I did not know
if coming back
was to me.
I’ve always felt
you knew
too much to
talk about truth.

I did not know
and would not
ask or
want an answer
but remembered
is too faint a word
for what I felt as
now wondering if
The embraces
were more or
less the same
for us.
