Ah
Ah ha
Hahahaha
Almost
Almost once again
did I fall for the romantic patter
the fake interest
the carefully crafted questions
the flattering attention.
And then -
I shared something
that got too close to
what and who
you really are
and
you ran,
telling me it was my fault.
For a few moments,
I really did think
it was mine
and then I realized
what had really happened.
Funny.
I caught myself just in time.
My instinct was once again
dead on.
