It was cold on the porch, and someone was waiting, warm in my bed. But I made the choice, without a thought, to take your call, as always, whispering into my phone in the dark. "Are you in love with me?" you asked, then damended. The truth only spoken between the hours of 1 and 4 in the morning. The days have gone by like hours since you moved, like skimming the pages of a book I never wanted to read. With us the truth always varys, but my love never has.
Then you got me to talk dirty to you, until you came. Something I've missed so much. The point of the conversation never made clear. I went back in and cuddled next to someone else. Then a few days later we talked on the phone for a few hours, like we used to, about nothing in particular. Where you mention the girl you've been seeing, andI would like her. How you hope it might turn into something. And I pretend to be amused by the funny things she has said.
That night I went and hung out with that guy, who I've been seeing, who I am destined to screw over.
You always come in and ruin every thing. I think I may always be your bitch. It's something I'm good at. But when will it, if ever, be good for me again? I am your open option. I hope that it helps you sleep better at night, because someone should have some kind of benefit out of this fucked up mess. And it will never be me.
