Two

Trying something new

when I met you.

Hadn’t gambled in a while,

quiet, sweet, not the usual smile.

I felt in control, strangely.

Little did I know,

It was yours all along.

I took a chance and spilled it all.

On the spill I slipped, stumbled, and took a fall.

You took notice and let me know.

Awkward and rosy, I retreated,

feeling all too defeated.

It wasn’t me, it wasn’t you.

Just not time for us to be

Two.
