i'm not sure what else to call it

If love is something you can explain

then that’s not what we had

It makes no earthly sense, the two of us

Why, despite all our differences

and discomfort 

I would still feel you in my bones, my tissues?

I remember thinking

How could something wrong feel this good?

Now I wonder why a decision that was right

Could linger for so long between each breath

I’m not sure I want you out of my system

because then it will be over
