once
i knew a man once,
but only once.
after him,
they all just seemed
like boys.
i knew a woman once,
but only once.
after her,
they all just seemed
like girls.
i knew people once,
but only once.
after them,
they all just seemed
like enemies.
i knew love once,
but only once.
after that,
it all just seemed
so fake.
i knew myself once,
but only once.
after that,
it all just seemed
so sad.
