only the heartbroken know what it means
to witness the world in bittersweet, love
i wanted to call you today
watched a relationship fold into comfort
at the corner of a coffee shop
two lovers entwined in listening
as easy as a handshake
forgot how walking away from you
was the same as being free
knew you were the only one who would understand
why your number is still in my phone
how i keep track of how many times i’ve ignored
your still persistent calling
and i love you
the same way i have learned to love
those early childhood spankings
for all the things they taught
if not the way they felt
even if it always felt home
i have uprooted a life before,
love
i will never answer my phone
please
don’t stop calling
