Darkroom

Ne Plus Ultra

I promised you
that I would write a new series
dedicated to you
and allow you to read it,
but I didn't.
It wasn't because
you went back to
the guy
that initiated a side relationship
right on your birthday.
It wasn't because
we stopped talking.
It wasn't because
I finally realized
that you may not deserve
all the good in the world.
It was because
the time we spent together
wasn't the best time
of my life anymore.
It had been with her.
