I know you called me that night
to avoid dialing the numbers
that would help you reach her voice,
I know you held my hand
because yours felt empty
without her fingers in-between yours,
I know you told me you loved me
because you had no one else
to mutter the words to now that she left,
I know you begged me
to hold you close that night
so you wouldn’t crumble into pieces
because she was the only thing that held you together,
I know you didn’t love me,
but you were broken
so I guess I let you break me too
