'She Was Very Nice About It Held My Hand and Didn't Mind' by Ravyn LaRue


I actually broke up with her today
It was a long time coming
And inevitably doomed romance
She looked me in the eyes
When I spoke to her today
(Unlike all the other days)
And she kept saying
"We're so alike, us two."
And I smiled and nodded at the self proclaimed kindredness
"You look nervous"
She said and touched my thigh
I said "I don't mean to offend you but-"
And she said "I understand"
I didn't expect this in the slightest
And I feel so relieved
But then she said,
"You were one of the few good ones"
Which made my heart both plummet and soar
She said, "I meant that as a complement."
And I said "Thank you."
She said, "Don't feel bad when we see each other in passing."
And I hastily assured her that I wouldn't.
"Just keep your priorities straight, alright?"
She muttered cryptically as I left her home
"And come visit me, okay dear?"
I nodded and left
I couldn't look back, I simply had to flee
I couldn't let her catch up with me
I'm celebrating now with junk food and soon caffeine
I feel freer than my heart
But my conscience cannot help but succumb to Ze's usual Catholic guilt
She didn't even accept the presents I made for her...
But you know what?
I think I earned my happiness back!
