Smile And Run Away Poem by Casey Rock

And now
can we really say we loved each other
that much?
I'm sure you'd have said yes
yes yes
and I'd have nodded, smiling
adoringly
even as you slipped those pink
shoes on, turned and hit the asphalt
on a dead sprint to Boulder
without so much as a yelp to
hold you
back

I suppose it's time to break
out my own two shoes
and walk off this dull heartache—
less poignant all of a sudden with the
realization that

you left ages ago
