To Know

You thought it was me.

I saw in your face that you thought

everything I could give you at that moment

was what you needed and no more.

 

We loved and loved finely and thought

that this is what happiness looks like

and nothing could be better.

It was true; nothing was.

 

But you know that feeling

when you learn something new and everything

changes? Well, one day you came home

and it was like you had bitten into Eve’s apple—

 

I could see a bit of juice dried

on your chin.
