only ever

the other dinner guest reminded 
me too much of you
I couldn't relax.
caught myself looking 
at their midriff 
when their hands went high
in a joke game
I felt left out of.
me, depressed,
adrift in a city 
and a problem
that we don't share.
trying to see their skin
but glimpsed myself instead 
for the creep
I suppose I am.
imagining it pressed against mine
in an awkward first.
the kind that 
is only ever 
a last.
