I knew I shouldn’t have bothered you again.
I knew I should have just let it go,
should’ve realized that two ships passing in the night sea
is perfectly lovely imagery.
I knew I should have let it be.

I don’t know when to quit
but I also don’t know when to start
and I don’t know which ignorance
causes more trouble.
I shouldn’t have troubled you.
I’m sorry that things ended that way
instead of the organic way
that had preceded.
I just thought we had such a good time –
maybe it could have been something more.

I’m sorry for all the vomit.
I’ll pay for the cleaning
if you let me.
