AND LIKE FIVE YEARS LATER:

“We been to Ibiza & all that. We like all that stuff”
He’d said,
“No, I think it’s really great what you do.”
He’d said,
Smelling of soap & innocence,
“We went out on the weekend & it was great,
really, really great!”
He’d said,
“We should get together”

Shook my hand,
Walked away,
Kept walking
