Callie Watrous Poet Spoken Word

You Didn't Cheat

No -
technically
you didn't cheat.

Technically,
we had broken up.

But you got with her
two days later.

You didn't tell me about this.
She didn't tell me about this.

You were my boyfriend.
She was my friend.

Technically -
you didn't cheat.

But you were talking to her 
while we were together.

You dated her for two days -
if you could even call that dating.

You told her you loved her.
Then you broke her heart.

You didn't tell me about this.
She didn't tell me about this.

You weren't my boyfriend anymore.
She wasn't my friend anymore.

That same night - 
you got back together with me.

You didn't just not cheat on me…
You did it to her too.

No, technically -
you didn't cheat.

But you kept talking to her
after all this.

You started talking to my best friend.

I asked about it -
and you said it wasn’t nothing.
(It wasn't nothing.)

Technically,
you didn't cheat.

You just broke up with me again
And got with my best friend 
two weeks later.

You didn't tell me about this.
She did tell me about this.

You weren't my boyfriend anymore.
She wasn't my best friend anymore.

No - 
you didn't cheat

But you didn't tell me anything.
