For Drake

My heart beats roughly 100 times per minute.

Three years ago I would have said that roughly

99 of those were for

you.

"There's just something about you,"

you said.

My heart beats roughly 100 times per minute.

Two years ago I would have said that roughly

99 of those were for

you.

"If you mean it, I love you too,"

you said.

My heart beats roughly 100 times per minute.

One year ago I would have said that roughly

99 of those were for

you.

"She's just a friend,"

you said.

My heart beats roughly 100 times per minute.

Today I would have to say that exactly

98 of those are for

you.

 

Unless you asked for one more.

"I'm sorry,"

you say.
