Lets Try Y (>X)

Lets Try Y (>X)

I don't like the term Ex 
So I call her my Y 
X doesn’t do either of us justice 
X is a consonant 
A constant 
Y defies boundaries
a proud vowel 
When it's alone - sometimes 
Y feels more variable 
X marks the spot, a dot on the date that we stopped adding up to one 
X and Y are both axis 
But she’s still growing up and she would ask me how I could be so certain
Days of sideways certainty fade every day that we don't say I miss you 
IMY 
IMU
I said I liked you but it was overdue
I had to be like you to get over you 
She is the reason Y  
I know myself better now than I did while 
We were together 
What's next after X 
Y does it matter 
Y equals mx + b 
A linear love equation 
my ex plus new guy b equals y o u 
Chose to go through with it,
Go through it with someone new 
And I should thank you  
For showing me Y love needs to come from both sides 
She is Y my highs feel like flying 
And Y my lows feel like dying 
Y I learned in love it only take one mistake to make it miserable 
Y I learned the pain of a heartbreak can be physical 
Y next time, if there is a next time, 
And in all life, I will love like I have never loved before 
Y I excel in productivity 
Y I redirect my negative energy to things
like punching excel spreadsheets 
Y I organize my bed sheets 
And i'm conscious of my FODMAP red meats 
Y yeast gives rise to wheat 
Y like my everyday’s yesterday 
Let me 
Let you
Be
My 
Y

Y this Y that?
How about Z from ground zero?
Interesting way to play with letters.
