He showed me a picture of his ex-girlfriend that he saw for five years

he must have been a different man

then

i wanted to ask him

why did he break from the streak of fidelity

but i didn't

he looked like he was at a happier place looking at the picture

i think he was back there for a second- leaving that bar stool

and I let him linger in the past AND I am alone again

with yet another short pause to teach me that there will be someone

someday

just not him, or not now
