I breathed in his existence like it was sustaining my heartbeat

Breathed out passion mixed with fire and intensity.

When he becomes your new favorite smell know,

That's partially me.

For 2 years our bodies were one, and I

Don't disappear that easily.

When you lay in his bed, know that my

DNA is entrenched in his sheets.

And my shampoo still lingers in the pillowcases.

I wasn't just some pick off the street,

And i wasn't just some random catch.

He chose me.

So know when he tells you "You're the love of my life"

Know he said it to me first.

Over and over again. And again. And again.

And i taught him how I'd like to hear it.

So when he's saying it to you,

Know he's saying it the way I'd want him too.

The scar that you trace on his left wrist when he's sleeping

Was made by my fingernails.

And the mark you've memorized on his back

Was part of our relationship.

Even if he called 6 months later,

At 3 am i'd still answer.

Maybe it's not about the length of time you've known someone,

Maybe it's about instant recognition on an unconscious level.

Our souls know each other

And the parts of him you just can't seem to grab onto

Are living inside of me.

So as you try to mold him into your image of perfection,

know that his shape is my creation.
