leaving, no matter how welcome it may seem,
is hardest tonight.
i think it's the potential,
what could be, what only just began.
with time, what if?
but what ifs are dangerous beings
ghostly and almost unreal
but deadly when asked at the wrong time.
so we kiss goodnight,
we kiss and all the words sit in-between.
i broke my promise.
i said i wouldn't get involved.
said i wouldn't get attached.
but it was you, and all it took was a smile.
