it wasn’t
a lack of care
more so fear
that held back
watching
for subtle suggestion
perhaps it was
the absence of armour
that drew eyes to feet
in an attempt
not to be noticed
or maybe the years
that nurtured distance
swelled into one moment
and left a doubting kiss
of uncertainty
upon those lips that now
paled with the tightness
of unspoken apologies
which ever
all that is left
is retrospect and
an emptiness
that had somehow, before, gone unnoticed
