The worst thing to tell
your ex-lover is
“I’m happy.”
And so he never told her
that he was happy,
but gave her
every appearance
that he was unhappy.
Indeed, you could
see her
light up
whenever she saw him,
for she believed
that he was unhappy.
And everyone who
saw them together said,
It’s a shame they broke up.
They seem to understand
one another.
And look, why just look
how she glows
to see him!
I think that they
are still in love.
See how pained he appears,
how he seems to miss her.
