Infidelity

Thank you for your explanation,
And the apology wasn't necessary
But could you somehow
Say 'sorry' to dreams we once shared?

It was our project, one goal
To live Quixotically Ever-After
We were sure. We were ready.
Let's experience our desires in life
Leverage memories into our decisioning

Some easy: "At least 2... Pets! Pets!"
Some hard: '07 - Chicago, '08 - NY
Your feet frozen ("put socks on")
My hands warm ("touch me again")
'Discovering us' was the best part

Then summer arrived
You no longer wanted my touch
And you still wore socks.

To hide the tracks.

It was the only rule made from your past.
I never suspected it. You're very good.
I accepted your addiction as mine
I quit my vices from our start
None as addictive but still
Thinking you'd follow my lead
That was dumb.

I didn't consider how vulnerable you'd always be
I didn't realize you still loved drugs more than us

After taking much too long, you express
"Remorse" for what happened
"Regret" for breaking us up
"I'm Sorry" for the loss of love.
Asking me to understand.
You want another chance.

You didn't care when it mattered to me
Now it matters (to you) that I care?
Without emotion it's all too clear
It happened. We broke up.
Trusting in our love didn't matter.

There was no one else, then or now
Just you and me and your habit
You only cheated on our future.
And it doesn't want you back.
