To Stay

I dated my first serious boyfriend

for four years. Actually I dated him

one year, and for the next three years,

we tried to break up, but we kept

getting back together, while

“Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover”

played in the background. Eventually,

we grew apart. He wound up in my wedding,

 but not as the groom. For the next

thirty-five years I must have thought of

more than fifty ways to leave my lover,

but there’s only one way to stay

and that’s to stay.
