I recently found someone with which I was once quite close.
He fascinated me. He was always a mystery.
Incredibly intelligent, yet far from academic.
Not at all handsome, but beautiful anyway.
Poetic and clumsy. Gifted and vulgar.

He helped me understand the world, but I could never understand us.
In the end, we got it all wrong and turned on each other.
Parted ways and never spoke again.
No goodbye and true to form, no hello.
Just an immediate launch into our old routine.
Minus the cheap beer and grimey backdrop.
It's oddly comforting.
