My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys

 

You Were Never Mine

You were never mine, but I held on like you were.

Checked your texts like I mattered, waited on replies like promises, read silence like maybe.

You never said you loved me, but your eyes almost did.

Your voice almost stayed.

Your touch almost meant it.

And I...

I built whole dreams on almost.

Wrote poems for a love that never began.

Grieved a heart that never called me home.

Isn't it strange?

How deeply we love

those who never ask us to?
