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
