something sacred

repetition doesn’t go too far
but you are
at the very least a good memory
i walked home that night
full of rum and smiling
if i had to say it
i guess i would admit that
my balance was off a bit
so
really, i should be sorry that
i only know your name
because i am good at finding things out
i probably should have noticed
the phase of the moon that night
or even
the colour of your dress
i guess i should be sorry
that i didn’t say goodnight
but you were
nothing very special
really
nothing but a dream.
