We agreed not to look at any cracks in the construction
as if – we may have thought – that would make them go away.
They might have seemed too difficult to fix, anyway…
We liked each other in the gaps along our conversation

I did my best – although I know mistakes were made…
Anyway, I was entitled. Wasn’t I?
