Difference of Similarity
I've already left.
So disconnected,
staring through the fog
of my sleep-needing brain
at you,
and I don't realize what's going on.
You are speaking.
What are you saying?
I cut you off;
your good intentions are too much right now.
I don't want to go there.
Why not?
Because.
Because is not a good answer.
Fine.
Of course it's not.
So here's your precious answer--
Because you're going there.
And I'm staying here.
Even if I went there with you,
or you stayed here with me--
It just wouldn't work.
Why?
Does it matter?
Yes.
Because you are you.
And I am me.
And we are so similar.
Our sameness makes us better together.
