How I Lost You

So,
I’ll tell you,
How it happened.

It was the morning after.

After,
The night we first,
Made love.

Oh,
We’d had,
Sex,
Many times before.

But,
Love —
That was the first time,
The first time we made,
Love.

And, It frightened me.

The way it consumed,
Me,
Us.

Made us,
One.

It frightened me.

So I ran.

And,
Sadly,
So very sadly,
I lost my way.

I never found,
My way,
Back,
To you.

That’s,
How it happened.

How it happened,
That I lost you.
