The Ex
We met at Saigon Grill in Union Square
Hadn't seen him in over 6 months.
At first it was an hour of laughs and friendly jabs at the bar
Then we got our table and ordered drinks, and the bullshit started to flow
healthy bullshit, probably.
I was crying in public before the entrees arrived
I was that table
I just didn't want to be there, and he was just stoned faced and, hopefully, hurt by how he'd hurt me
But I couldn't tell and I'm tired of guessing
I payed the bill as fast as I could, he didn't touch his food
I cried on his arm in the snow for a bit, but I couldn't keep it together and had to go get drunk somewhere else
And I'm thinking, I wish I'd told you this all six months ago , but from the look on his face it probably wouldn't have made a difference
