It Was Me

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

"I was thinking about you this weekend."


And with those words I was yours again.


It felt like no time had passed
as we walked in step once more.


I had resisted the urge to reach out to you
because I knew whenever I did
how short-lived it lasted.


But I never expected to hear from you.


Not when I watched from afar
as you posted photos
of your beautiful family.


Were you trying to show off
how happy you were?


I can't help thinking
you were sharing so much
in the hopes I would notice.


But despite all your public joy,
behind closed doors,
it was me you were picturing.


It was me who excited you
as you thought about me
and feasted on our memories.


It was me that took you to a place
of ultimate ecstasy
that no one else did.
