Hey, before we get all into it:
it wasn’t about you.
What you heard me say yesterday?
I wasn’t referring to you.
I get how you’d think that
what with the context and the language
and the fairly specific references
but really
trust me:
total coincidence.

There was a story I was reading
in a collection I’d been advised to
and I stole the concept
and some phrases from the third chapter in the book.
So that’s what I was talking about
when you heard me say
what I was talking about.
It was an entire flight of fancy.

It’s not about you.
It’s not always about you.
This time
at least
it was certainly not about you
no matter what you heard.
