RJ

You're winning a battle that you'll never know you joined

Your jawline and your teeth, your lips are so much more to behold

I'm helpless in the wake of something you cannot control

I'm the keeper of my own joy and I let you escape with handfuls

I stare at your picture and it's hard to imagine us sharing a lover

He sighs and shakes his head when I ask him, "do you ever think of her?"

I'm in love for the first time

And it hurts to think of loves that came before mine

Especially one so beautiful

One so bright
