Today, I felt like I betrayed her.
I betrayed our love, our openness.
I betrayed what was and is a most powerful love between two people.
Today I felt like I betrayed her, not because I cheated or even thought about,
not because others hit on me and I flirt back,
I betrayed the love, the love between the two of us.
Today I felt like I betrayed her because when my friends ask me
if I’m in love with a man or woman, to keep the peace I either say man or person.
In so doing I betrayed her.
Today I felt like I betrayed her.
When she heard the distress in my voice of what had happened,
yet I stated I was fine to my deafening loss of control.
Today I felt like I betrayed her.
Today I realized I will never do that again.
