Ingenious wishes.

I told myself
I’d never love again.

A fool’s wish,
to deprive oneself
of substantial affection.

I could never turn back.

If I thought of tomorrow,
it would be too soon.

When you think of me,
be brave,
and your tears will leave.

Incognito.

I am stealthy.
I am sly.

You will seem to think
that I was never here.
The genie returns to the lamp.
