People always used to tell me that we
Were what soul mates looked like
Thinking maybe that their words would
Tie us together like unknotted cords on
A split way train track
And maybe I believed them
And maybe I deserved to
We always used to find each other
Like an unspoken game of hide and seek
Our hands magnetized towards each other
Two polarized bodies in a solar system
Miles away but gravity always brought us home
You knew how to tangle your arms around
My shoulders just in the way
To make all the loose pieces of me stick
Back together
Someone like you
And someone like me
Just were,
There were no questions
We were inseparable
Combined to the point that you couldn't
See where you ended and I begun
Because that's how love
Was supposed to look.
And my,
Did we act like it,
Our sailboats fell asleep together
Underneath a tabletop of stars
Restaurants became a competition,
Champagne chasing down lions
of second thoughts
Fights are when colors swirled,
Wind whipped through the
Jenga block skyscrapers
I built for you on the porch,
A thesis statement for the one
You promised we'd own together
You whisper how you loved me
That night when we met ourselves
Within the bedroom walls
I deserved to believe you,
But I didn't.
