After I came all this way
the least you could have done
was offer me a place to stay.
No, I take it back.
I guess the least you could do
was agree to pick me up at the bus station
then not return any of my calls
for the rest of the night
– which you did –
so
mission accomplished, I guess.

All in all
I was really disappointed by my visit.
I had hoped
secretly
that I could occupy most of your time
night and day
and night.

I wanted more than was feasible
I see now.
After the fact
I can recognize
that we needed this trip
this time
to recognize what we were to each other
and that was wrong.
I get that the more you know about me
the less you’ll want to know about me
but I didn’t imagine how mutual
the feeling could be.

We are probably
never going to kiss again
which is sad
but also fine.

But I probably will not revisit your town.
If I had the choice
I wouldn’t go there again.
Still
thank you for the hospitality
that you did offer
such as it was.

I’ll see you
whenever.
