it's not funny

 

sometimes

it’s he who says

“I love you”, then I say,

“I love you more”

sometimes it’s me

 

 ~ ~ ~

 

then there was a morning on my way to work

my playlist hit on Jason Isbell’s, “If We Were Vampires”

I cried

 

 ~ ~ ~

 

it’s not funny anymore, our joke where he says

“I’m going first”

and I say “no, I am”

and we go back and forth

laughing

except now, it's

not funny
