Tratado de Impaciencia Número 10

That night it didn't rain
Nor did you show up apologizing
Saying, as you sat down
Forgive me if I'm late

You didn't overwhelm me with questions
Nor did I try to impress you
Telling silly adventures
False travel stories

We didn't wander around the neighborhood
Looking for an open dive
Nor did I kiss you when the Moon
Suggested it was the moment

We didn't go dancing either
Nor did a bird tremble in your chest
When my mouth was moving
From words to actions

And we didn't end up in bed
Where these things end
Burning together in the bonfire
Of skin, sweat, saliva, and shadow

So don't go lamenting
What could have happened and didn't
That night you failed
I didn't show up for the date either
