Now That You Want Someone Else

‍

My knees look rough but

That's just because I've been

Running and running.

When you pushed me away in

Your sleep I clung to the edge

Of the mattress.

I rolled over onto your carpet.

I memorized your ceiling, and all

The little parts of me that had

Gotten stuck between the wood.

‍

Now that you want someone else,

I can breathe a little easier.

There's nothing else to

Admit to. Nothing to

wait for.

‍

I came alive in your body

And started to forget mine.

I came alive in your body

With such intensity

That I started dreaming in it.

Is that what love is?

‍

Just yesterday I passed

The street where we first

met.

I thought it would be nice

To go back.

To meet you again.

To never know anything.

To let you buy

Me a drink while I admire

Your sharp features.
