How long ago?

You said to me once
Daring me
You said
I was too good
To leave you
You told me once
I loved you too much
To leave you
So I left
To prove to myself
To you
We are not the same person
And I was right
Today I saw you
From across a mass of tiny faces
Do you think me forever lost in the crowd?
You were glorious
and older
and slower
and missing
something
You were right
We were too good
And now we
Are dimmer
Without each other
As proof
