Once
I
Loved a girl
A woman
a person who delighted me
Once I was in
Love with a girl
who was careless
or just oblivious
her touch awakening in me
things yet unseen
her words
worming their way into my
heart
her openness
opening me
Once I loved a girl
who realized far too late
that I was in love
and her simply loving
in way too deep
I found myself
in love with
someone who had allowed me into an ocean
with a gesture
a word
phrase
a lingering hug
a cuddle
spoons
when all she really wanted was a pool of feeling
not unchartered depth
Once I loved a girl
who I was to high off of
too close to the stars
weightless
and her too
or so I thought
so much value placed in things
moments
experiences
she doesn't remember
or does but acknowledges not
I was in love with a girl
who saw us
me
not like I saw her
who
categorized a year
a relationship
a love
as mere friendship
Once I loved a girl who I think
loved me too
