i remembered you -
last night, the one with the
conker hair -
your image forced its way
through sleeping eyes,
to jolt a memory
long faded.

i liked you -
that night, the one with the
killer smile -
your eyes shining their way
across a crowded room,
to meet some girl
uniquely dressed.

i blanked you -
both nights, the one with such
promise -
I was scared of severity:
commitment in your stance,
trying to love someone with
nothing to give.
