A.N.

We Both Know

We both know how this goes—
the conversation never ending,
questions about things that could go on forever,
funny remarks, weird comebacks,
stupid eye contact.

 

We both know how this goes,
how it starts so simple.

 

And nothing will go right after that
if we change the title.

 

There\'s no coming back.

 

Maybe we should stay as strangers,
or friends,
before one of us trips,

 

and we both fall downhill,

 

and the title changes.
