I wasn't done forgetting
When you texted me to say
You had gotten married
Prefaced: "By the way"

We were good together
A few hours at a time
We never shared much more than that
Well, online, but not live

The longer that I knew you
The more I got to see
What was yours you didn't want
(Reminding me of me)

I still smile at your humor
I loved you too, I guess
Your news did make me misty
To that, I do confess

I never pushed for us to be
Partners, for our lives
And now I think the tears I cried
Were mostly for your bride.
