Love Affairs

Cleaning out my room I came across a thing or two that reminded me of you. Long passed are the days that you were a constant gaze away.

I betray.

You betray.

'we' fade.

Memories stay for a month or more, new ones made, relationship galore.

Numbers rise and to no surprise at night we're still alone. The phone rings. It's 3 AM

- "You wanna chill?"

-"It's 3 AM"

-"I thought u were my friend"

-"I am"

-"Then why can't I see you"

-"Because you know what that leads to"

The last conversation between me and him. Were goodbyes spoken?

I forget.

He was gone and with no regret I look back and smile. Reflect on the past for a while. Then lift my head up high, finally ready for that goodbye.

He didn't hear me say it when I told her he ain't shit. I said he had nothing to offer. What do I want him for? 3 AM calls, relationship galore. Going backwards to old numbers, why rewind to the past? Knowing me and him weren't meant to last. He set me free, to explore more possibilities. A new man's name I'll be screaming in ecstasy, because I left, he left. Now we look ahead. Him and her and a brand new bed. Burn the old sheets, and throw out the old mattress. Love her all of her, from the tip of her head to the sole of her feet. The battle's over, I'll let her think I claim defeat. She won. And the heavens sung, let him go for good. I did just that but she misunderstood.

-"Does he still call you?"

-"Ask him why you asking me?"

-"You caused the doubt"

-"What the fuck you talking about?"

-"You told him that you love him"

-"I say that a lot. When those words were last spoken was the missing fact.”

But then he left her, she left him.

-"what did he have to offer?"

3 AM calls, relationship galore, and now he's calling her a whore. The numbers rise and to no surprise at night we're still alone. Her numbers are moving backwards, she's rewinding to the past. She took him back,

let's see how long this round lasts. Second time to do it all over,

me and him did that 4 times in a row. Now you can see why this time,

the answer is forever NO! I refuse to rewind to the past. Me and him weren't meant to last. I'm never going backwards to old numbers, it's almost the end of December and new year is to begin. I'll see what this one will bring. No more calls at 3 AM, at least none made by him. Numbers rising, relationship galore. Hitting double digits, tallying up my score.

But it's just a number, do I really care? we all have many love affairs.

learning by trial & error is its course. until we find our man in shining armor, riding on that white horse.
