Ergo, the Ogre

I almost called you today

when a song came on the radio

that reminded me of the

“us” in my mind’s eye; the us that lives

exclusively and forever

in my heart

then I remembered

(how could I forget?)

you don’t care

like I do and that

you don’t think

of me “that way” and you

don’t want to hear stupid

songs that mean nothing

like I do.
