You Were So Not That

A poem

Credits: Author

You stand in the autumn sun,
A pale smile against the bright,
A glance on my lips, a pause,
And a blush before we realize it.

….

The busy traffic unmoving,
And some moments together,
Yet in the maddening crowd,
You hold me in your eyes.

…

It means nothing, now,
Not to me, for a change,
The pause before the goodbyes,
The looking in the eyes.

…

You were so not ‘that’,
Not the one who dared,
Not one who could stand by,
In times when I needed the most.

…

You were so not that,
A friend who could be trusted,
Or with the passion for life,
I thought you had.

…

You were so not that
The picture I had created of yours
Not your fault, but mine
For you never said you were.
