Sole Reason

Last night...

Last night was not a good idea.

Someone once told me not to have one-night stands
because even though it may be beautiful and seem pleasurable
you hate yourself the morning after and regret it
And I didn't understand.

I didn't understand, then.

I understand, now.

retrace your reasons

remember the beauty the deceit the beauty such resemblance to one you truly did love

sigh at a mistake that cannot, now, be fixed,
it can only be let go of and
eventually
heal


It must be just like wearing ill-fitting shoes, isn't it?

My poor dear metatarsals, I am sorry.
