They offered me
A hundred dollar bill
I refused it
My hands too
Full

I didn't know
What exactly it
Was at first
So I looked
Down

Opening my fist
There lay a
Crumpled, dirty, sweaty
Old dollar bill
You.

I was inspired to write this after passing up a really great opportunity because I was clinging too tightly to someone in my past.
