Next Girl

I keep trying to keep my jealousy in check
But you make it really difficult when you
Went from wanting nothing serious with
Me to wanting to marry the next girl after
Me. What made you change your mind?
Maybe I never truly got to know the real
You under the layers and life’s complexity.
You wanted to remain friends despite not
Talking for months and we would settle for
Keeping tabs on each other through social
Media instead. We were not on the same
Page when we first met. I missed someone
Who would keep me company and fight
Against the loneliness, but I wanted you
To do more than make my body feel good.
I was looking for someone who made my
Spirit come alive. I wanted someone who
Would build with me from scratch. But you
Have moved on with someone else who
Can give you all that and so much more.
And I am happy for you. I really am but I
Cannot watch it play out for me and for
The whole world to see anymore. So this
Is a goodbye before we could even start.
