Now that I have enough money
I don’t need you anymore she said
We relocated and she was secure
She took me to a few places that were
Familiar to her and expected me
To fly out of town
But I decided to stay
There were also temples all around
Reminded me of Thailand
From one end of the street
To the other and a new
Dog companion I thought
I could live here
I can find a place
I too have enough money now
So really we were both waiting
On one another to become
Financially sufficient
The dog was happier with me
The apartment they were living in
Was really too many floors up
We needed ground level
Something more about him
Not them
I went on the hunt for the new place
The sun wasn’t out quite yet
But it was still light
We made it back to the mall
Where her new job was
Fancy taking care of rich children
They needed love too
But the rules were stricter
I didn’t know how to love you either
She said something like
Your brother said
I want you to be happy now
