you weren’t down for forever and it’s fine

I know, you know, we know,

you weren't down for forever and it's fine.

why I won’t see him

"Wait why don't you want to see him?"

"I don't think he likes me very much."

"Aw why do you think that?"

"I don't know."

"Didn't y'all agree to stay friends?"

"I'm not gonna put energy into a friendship when the other person won't reciprocate it."

"That's true. Well I'm happy that you're putting yourself first."

won’t come see me

You’d go all the way to Houston see her

but won’t come to Austin to see me?

I guess I didn’t mean as much

but that’s okay.

I wanted to stay, but he didn’t.

I asked him what he wanted.

“I think it’s best if we broke up.”

But that’s not what I wanted.

Smiling, “I agree.”

Set boundaries

I think I’m starting to feel

an attachment,

something is stirring.

What am I supposed to say?

Especially since I’ve already

built a specific type of

relationship.

What am I supposed to do?

Especially since this person

could never in a lifetime

guess it,

guess the real me.

Especially since I’ve showed

no signs.

I’m extremely persuasive,

this person could never guess.

Excuses

It’s not the right thing to do.

Or is that the excuse that I’ve always made?

“You’re my best friend.”

You woke up in the

middle of the night.

Looked at me and said,

“You’re my best friend.”

And I knew you

were in love.

Whisper behind my back

Words about me

“Just get her married and throw her out of here. That’ll teach her some respect.

Then she’ll understand how it feels to cook and clean all day for her husband.

She’s becoming a burden and a real pain in the ass. At least her husband will force some manners into her.

She’s an ungrateful bitch.”

-someone I no longer love.
