i said "that's cute"
and you said "yeah"
i meant you were, but you just cooed at the dogs
and i broke a little bit, quietly crumbling the pining remains of a lovelorn self i hadn't quite left behind
it was worth it though, for a friend

it's hard to forget how to love someone in a different way than ur trying to, and this is abt that. i hope y'all found this at least mildly poetic and are doing well <3
