Cowardice is forever

I thought I saw you.

  on Belmont and happy.

A beautiful woman on your arm

you were always

with someone on your arm

never on an arm yourself.

We went to college together

or rather, you and I lived

four years in that same small town

  a subtle but important difference

I was never in love with you
 more like in Awe with you
    afraid

Icarus' dutiful brother

Charismatic doesn't cover it,

you were,  I was/am in awe

Everyone was in awe.

Jealously, the dutiful sister of Awe

you asked me if you were a bad person

just because he said you were.
That ungrateful man-child who shared your bed.  

He said it, cruelly and you asked me if he was right
asked the question like you didn't know

 you were a goddess

adored. 
I did not try to make you feel better.
A coward.  

I can't apologize for that now,
  everyone is gone but me.  

    I can only hope you have forgotten

I do.  I'm sorry.

I thought I saw you on Belmont

you were happy.
