sprats

someday we will meet and you will tell me about your life

and i will tell you about mine

and you will ask me why i never settled down

with someone

and i will tell you about my fear of commitment

bad luck with men

we will laugh about it

you will tell me there are plenty of fish in the sea

i just needed to keep looking

i will make some joke about

looking for salmon

but only getting sprats

but i will never tell you that

i could swim to the deepest seas

or climb the highest mountains

but never find the man i'm looking for

because there he is,

sitting across from me

telling me about his life

asking me why i never settled down
