Lose Me
“Like you’re ever gonna lose me.”
The text said.
“Yeah! Like I’m ever gonna lose you.”
She responded.
Followed by a tongue-out smiley.
They had known each other for years,
And they were going to, for years more.
They had shared their lives,
The tears, the laughter,
As they downed one glass after another,
Of whatever time brought them.
They had known each other for years,
And they were going to, for years more.
It would just be over Facebook now.
The birthday messages, the New Year wishes,
Unattached. Written like midnight
Shout outs from the top of a building.
She might even follow him on Instagram someday,
Pretending not to have known that he had a profile,
As she sat every night
Pretending not to care,
Looking at pictures of him
Taking life by its horns.
Her life was perfect.
Its not like one less person really mattered.
Other friends, other people,
There were so many of them.
“Like you’re ever gonna lose me.”
She had lost him the moment he had typed it in.
