My Favorite Everything

You are my favorite kind of almost—
   the taste of forever I almost have
   the only home I came to know
   not until everything fell apart

You are the best we-could've-been—
   the pleasure I could have felt
   but your heart grew tired of me
   so you turned away and left

You are my favorite it-used-to-be—
   the delicate touch I used to feel
   and the first I see in the morning
   but now it's all in the past to reminisce

But love, you will always be my favorite everything
though yours was now someone else's name
