Caught Up
Stephen Sandoval, NYC
February 24, 2006

You brought me wilted flowers.
I forgot to say, "Thank you."
I was caught up in the idea of you.

You brought me rich, imported, half-eaten chocolates.
I forgot to say, "I love you."
I was caught up in the idea of you.

You brought me the words "Good bye."
I forgot to say, "Here's your hat."
I was caught up in the idea of you leaving.
