Past DecisionsA Poem by John ByrdJust when I thought I was on the right track. You remind me I’m nowhere near. I didn’t mean to sleep with your ex best friend. You didn’t even like her. I didn’t even like her. But that doesn’t matter. Now you won’t talk to me. I guess I deserve it. Really it kills. I wish we could be best friends but I guess that out of the question. Once again my past comes and haunts me. From two years ago. I just wish you knew who I am now. But why would I expect you to. If you slept with one of my ex best friends I would be just as mad. I really did care about you. Probably more than the rest of them. But I would never have the courage to tell you. Besides you would take it the wrong way. So I guess I’ll forget we ever existed If that’s what you want. If only you knew how much I hated myself that night You told me you found out. I deleted your number. But I won’t forget. Life is funny. Actually nah this isn’t really funny. I try to find the bright side. But there isn’t one… I did what I did. I can’t take it back.
