Tbh, the look on your face hurt far worse than anything you said to each other and I heard a lot.
You looked content, you were actually paying attention and listening. You were calm and receptive, most importantly I could tell that you were being honest.
I never once saw that look when we spoke, you were absent and calculated, only hearing enough to formulate an argument or a defense, only patient enough to develop a deflection.
In that moment, cozy sweater, headphones on, in the company of the man you truly love (even if only over the phone).
I realized that it was never me...
It was never us...
It couldn't have ever been because your heart already belongs to someone else...
It always did...
