It is now clear

That I’m certainly not

Meant to be with you

Forever this isn’t sad

For like the rain

Is to the spring

And the snow is

To the winter it’s

Obvious that I am

The thing that is

To make you be

You for everyone else

And then after years

Of jockeying after years

Of denying and trying

On this label and

Then that label finally

Tucked way in back

We both saw the

Same coat and tried

It on and paraded

About the store and

In front of mirrors

Looking at each other

And finally finally agreeing

This is the one

The one that fits

The one that feels

Right and makes us

Both better this one

And not the others

This one called boyfriend
