end of a decade for two

I made myself easy to follow,

turned, you weren’t there.

Kept moving, and when you caught up,

I pretended I wasn’t scared.

And while taking that long walk,

I made use of very short steps,

thinking best to make myself leave you

with the burden of your regrets.

Then we met at Rendezvous Junction

for the second time.

And I created the illusion of control

by being careful not to speak my mind.

I gave you enough already,

And now wanted back my life.

And it was there you inked the papers,

That we watched dry before our eyes.

So when I saw salt on your cheeks,

Honestly, I kind of felt surprised.

I had assumed you felt nothing,

Shattering a decade with a year of lies.

And honestly, I still do,

Knowing how difficult it is

For you to speak the truth.

And I can never unsee the irony

Of that brewery named "Rendezvous."
