Farewell Valentine

Every day after you returned
I meant to write you a note
saying welcome back but
you hadn’t come back
you’d just left a brief note
and gone off again
something that said
I was worried you
would never know
how wonderful it felt
to be me how grateful
just as I would never know
how wonderful it felt
to be you even though
since knowing you I feel you
in all my feelings which also
include how awful it felt
and still feels to be me
and when you tell me
how awful it felt
to be you how crushed
I felt I couldn’t trust
myself enough to breath
entirely on my own again.
