Permanent People

i don't care to get to know
those exhibiting the warning signs.
all i've ever known is how to stay behind.
left alone to understand how easy i am to leave.
it should alarm me, but it only calms me.
preminitions of goodbye lay next to me at night
in the spot you told me, 'this is forever."
i look over and you're nowhere in sight.
