We met randomly at a pizza place
Your eyes sparkled like fire
We didn’t chase each other
Love found us
I know now love was just a visitor

Dear BrotherWife

My wife left me, you came to help
You let me treat you like a BrotherWife
I made you eggs, you complimented my cooking
I rested on your shoulder
You told me everything is ok
You are the wife I should have had
You are the best brother I could have gotten
Thanks BrotherWife

You whispered in my ear, “I’ll always love you”
I whispered in yours “I know”
We sat under the stars
We stared at the infinite, we spoke about endless possibilities
We dreamed
I reminded you of that night
You said you didn’t remember
You reminded me of all my mistakes
I reminded you of all my accomplishments
You whispered in my ear “I can’t love you anymore”
I whispered in yours “neither can I”

You looked through me, like I was a stranger
I looked at you, like I had known you for all my life
You stared at me with eyes I didn’t recognize
I stared at you with the same eyes that I first saw you running past my house all those years ago..
I said “I don’t understand what’s happening”
You said “that’s the reason why this is happening”
I looked at you like you were a stranger....

You said you would love me forever
I didn’t know forever meant thirteen years
You said you would always be loyal
You are seeing another man
You said you would never leave me
I only see my things in this empty home
I said I would never give up
I’m done.
