We held hands intermittently like two awkward,
crushing teenagers after years of exchanging backward glances.
I felt your hear beat and smelled your fears rising like steam through the gutters.
I lived both within and without you.
Our flirtatious dalliances I've long outgrown.
Your charms have worn thin.
I now require a house that can be a home.
