inch

Yes, I did this–

I opened a door
thinking, foolishly, that
you would not walk through it,
you would not know how,
you would not want to.

Inexplicably,
you stepped through and
words have been spoken,
embraces traded,
all of them real enough to be felt,
not to be true.

Now I find myself a fool,
having forgotten what happens
when one gives an inch.
