It’s like we were walking along a cliff
and somewhere along the way I just
dropped off.

You see, I’m no good at explaining the ‘why’s of situations,
just the ‘what’s,
like when I wrote down I love you (I could never
say it out loud)
and I realised that some things are not
warranted by explanations -
they just happen.

One moment we walked together
and the next I was gone
and I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more to hold onto.
Just know that before I fell, I held out my hand.
You didn’t take it.
