I think that maybe I take breakups
And half-breakups
And “I think we should just stay friends”
And “I’m moving across the country!”
And “Let’s just pretend it never happened…”
And “Sorry, I’m already doing something else that night”
so horrifically,
and yet so horrifically well,
Because life in my head
Is constantly romancing
And then breaking up
With everyone.

Written on a whim. Accidentally, actually, while writing a blog post.
Written for.... everyone.
Today it is for the restraint to have just one beer and then a spiced tea.
