Dulce

I’ve cheated on you.
It wasn’t anything serious,
at first.
I know that when you’re with someone
you devote time
and energy,
but with this person,
it just felt so
natural.
A glance there,
a smile here,
coffee together
turns into dinner.
You were just gone
all the time,
you know?
You never made time
to see me,
to talk to me,
to nurture me,
not like this person.
This person
knew me,
and they made it
so clear
that they wanted me
in their life.
My passions,
my fears,
my hopes,
my dreams.
They knew it all.
The more time I made
for them,
the more I grew apart from you.
I needed you less
and less
and less
until I realized
that the single greatest romance
I have ever had
was with this person;

Myself.
