Rebound

The last time your heart was broken,
You called me with your voice full of anguish.
Choking on tears, you sought me out to console you.
I showed up outside your job,
Waiting for closing time,
A bottle of shitty alcohol in hand.
We sat outside and talked for hours,
The first intimate moment shared
In years.
I drove away smiling,
Hopeful for the following year of healing
For us both.
I wasn't ready.
Too soon, you want to give her your last name,
And its my heart that now screams in pain.
