The Ending
didn't you see it?
my sheer adoration
how happy I was around you
the childlike giddiness
like a 5-year-old who wanted more
demanding more
naively trusting you
the older sibling
or priest-like figure
who indulged me
swept me away
and left me
like a child lost
at an amusement park
abandoned
by the person
she cared about most
