Momentary Lapse

I clung on to him, not because I loved him but because he gave me the attention I always wished came from you. He made me feel good. He was the temporary remedy for my loneliness. He was the quick fix to missing you. He was the boost to my bruised ego. But here’s the thing with temporary remedies and quick fixes: they never last. Sooner or later, I’m back to where I was before. Without you.
