Sweater

You know it’s funny

You know it’s funny,

I never understood the concept of a sweater.

It’s just a jacket right?

It’s meant to keep you warm or whatever.

A thoughtful gift?

Something your parents would make you wear in cold weather.

For ages girls have stolen boyfriend’s jackets and thought they were clever.

It’s something you would give your girlfriend when you would see her shiver.

She would make you hold her closer,

To show that you are the only one who matters.

It’s something I never understood until you took my last one,

But you gave me yours to make me feel better.

I swear I would use that jacket everyday,

And you told me “here’s another, have fun and go play.”

And in the final moments of that very last day,

I understood what it was.

Smiled,

And walked away...
