We never knew what to call it at the time,
This thing we had going on.
Friends?
Of course, but not nearly enough.
Boyfriend? Girlfriend?
No, that wasn’t right; it was too soon.
Lovers?
Yes, that one was true.
That name would do.
We were all of them
And none of them,
And everything in between.
Whatever this thing was,
It’s left us both heartbroken;
Something that we should have foreseen.
