We are still close friends,
As close as two friends can be.
I did know she would find someone to love,
And spend less time with me.
I figured she and he would spend several hours
While she divided her time with me.
I would have hours to get used to the idea
That she wouldn't be mine alone.
But along came one with whom she had so much in common
it only took her a few minutes.
Now in the night,
I sit and write, alone,
Without her.
How many hours will it be till next time?
