we got into it too quickly  

before

we get into it too deeply   she 

backs off   says   this is goodbye

her eyes shutter  

go flat   the light is extinguished

all expression drains from her face

i am gone to her

something in the past

the hurt   though   in her body language

in her soul  

will never go away   i know her that well  

but she does it   i couldn't   wouldn't  

would ruin both our lives
