Why do I feel like I
was destined to know you?
I never thought I’d feel
this way again about
another. But now you
reject me and distance
yourself, or is this just
the story I am telling
myself? Like the one
where we were perfect
for each other

Was it all a lie?
Was it all a test to
deceive me into thinking
I’d found a special place
to develop and thrive
like you did
My professional codependency
stealing the show
I gave you too much time
to realize you didn’t
need me
