Leaving But Really Staying
By Michelle Chang


It's our last night here
let us dissolve the quarters of the past
and lay together

when I left you
I was scared and impatient
afraid of your rejection
but you remained silent
as I babbled like brook

We were both stupid then
on this last night
let our lips finally unite
