Alone, and better

Together, that’s what I thought.

Together, that’s what you said.

So when I found you, together, with them,

I learned that together didn’t include me.

And you had all these togethers, each time telling me they were only temporary.

You said they were temporary, and that I was forever.

You’re right, I know that now.

I know that as I stand above you—

Together is temporary.

And I am forever.
