Guys Named Chris

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

It was so nice to talk to you again,

hearing your voice after years.

 

Catching up and coming clean-

laughter followed by truth bombs.

 

How is it that you get me

to spill my guts every time?

 

I tell you my whole life story

when usually I'm the shy one.

 

It reminds me of the way

I am with my husband.

 

I guess I'm only comfortable

with guys named Chris.

 

I never got closure from you;

mixed signals confused me.

 

You liked me but you didn't 

want to be with me.

 

So today I got the answer why,

and I heaved a sigh of relief. 

 

When before I dreamed a future,

now I'm glad it didn't come true.

 

You wouldn't have made me happy,

not like I am with my husband today.

 

You couldn't support me 

nor comfort me like he does. 

 

Back then I was attracted; 

but seeing you now, I wonder why. 

 

So I got the closure I needed

and only grew to love my life more.
