every boy who i have ever loved...

we're at that awkward stage of
"i'm done being mad at you
but we can't be good friends"
so we talk about our lives
and laugh, casually, politelly

you say my new boyfriend sounds boring
with thickness enuniciating every syllable:
"he sounds so bland."
i'd like to punch you in the center of your
crooked nose
and say,
"i knew this really interesting boy who i loved and
who loved me
but he decided to fuck me over."

instead i say,
"every boy
who i have ever loved
has left me.
and maybe this boy
is not perfect
but i trust that he won't leave me
like the others
(like you) did."
