Meathead Monologue

jewels

is it safe to say
you're still a special person?
you love deeply and passionately,
often times, too much.
you've seen the weakest and ugliest
parts of me.
parts i had never intended to show you,
let alone anybody.
you just somehow
pulled them out of me.
once, you even called me
beautiful
as tears ran down my face
when we were sitting on
a picnic table together at
my best friends house.
how you saw beauty in that,
i'll never know.
but thank you,
and i'm still sorry.
it's definitely safe to say
that you are a special person.
just not my special person.
