i don't think you know this,
but i always brought her bread
before school.
just one slice,
whatever was fresh.
i always wrapped it in wax paper,
tied it with blue string,
and tucked it into my lunch box
under the apple slices.
always under the apple slices.
i know she loved it.
she told me every day.
but now she's gone,
and you're here.
instead of her.
i like you quite a bit, but not as much as her.
yet for some reason,
i always bring you bread
before school.
just one slice,
whatever's fresh.

i'll never love anyone
as much
