Only Temporary

Another free verse

You finally tell me you want to.

I want to scream in excitement through my empty house.

Except the next moment you assure me that..

It's only temporary.

I think you'd finally come around.

Although really we're just desperate.

I know he's the right one for you, 

but I just can't help it...

It's not really in my power.

Not at all, I know that.

You understand what's right for you,

and you can't help that it's not me.

At least there's a backup, right?

You're happier with him, right?

It's not like I care where your heart takes you,

because it's yours... right..?
