"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I remember everything about you
Your cardigan, glasses and quiff
If you weren’t so much older
Maybe I’d have been bolder
And asked you out forthwith
Last Chance
Despite my
protests
to the
contrary,
it has
always
been you.
Why not
meet me
at the
library,
and I’ll make
your dreams
come true.

You write about it often enough

Over dinner
Your smile discreet
Hers a winner
I realised there
Was something more
When she sashayed
To the dance floor
I knew it then
In revelatory style
It was obvious we’d never
Walk down the ailse

While hanging on
For a reply to a particular text
As I had shown it
I thought I’d blown it
And wasn’t sure what was next
As it was
It was just a pause
As you wrote back in earnest
And so then I knew
I still had you
And that my effort was worth it
Reassured
The relief
is palpable
My anxiety
is pacified
Our normality
is restored
Thank fuck

We can hold hands

Thinking they should commit me
Just for craving his embrace

I got lost

when he spoke to me
and, for a moment,
I wondered what
it would be like
to hold his hand.
I’m sorry.

Astonishing
If I could roll back

‘Don’t just pick one fella’
