Between the Second and the First
"I love you"
now given after the first time,
is given missed by the Second,
off kilter with target,
the one set up by the First.
How can the Second hit that?
The target so small,
placed out the blue,
at a distance so far,
and too blindly lit by the First.
The Second responds
hurried,
paced,
without eyes,
a beligerance taken from a clone.
But the Second does recognize,
that the First felt a moment,
and that they may not feel it,
but that they can appreicate the First's emote of it.
The Second wants to know if their sentiment is felt,
if the First realizes that they can understand
the First's moment.
This is where I watered the Second's guilt,
and where I quenched it.
