Other Than You

Other Than You

Okay, so we’ll play this game,
I’ll pretend I don’t love you
and you’ll pretend not to care
when I cry myself to sleep
or throw my arms around you
and beg you not to go.
You lose yourself in her, but
are you thinking of me instead,
are you remembering
the way my lips taste,
how my eyes roll back
and my fingers gripped your shoulders,
how you kissed me
like you never wanted to let me go?
I can’t see myself with anyone
else, even when he touches me
I can’t feel anything but
your touch, I see your face,
lips open, breath coming heavy,
the way your eyes scrunched up
when you let yourself go,
when we crested this wave
together. He never cares, you see.
I don’t want to see myself
with anyone else,
other than you.
