Size matters...

Dear size queen

Remember when you insinuated that I catfished you

I remember it inversely though

When you learned of my surname

You instantaneously assumed I was a brother from the “north”

You got eager at the prospects of my endowment

Yet I was just an “conventional” man from ekasi

Dear size queen

Remember our first kiss

Your hands were feeling me up

Little did I know at the time that you were sizing me up?

How could I have missed that though?

How did I not know that for you size is everything?

Because it all makes sense now

Dear size queen

Remember when you started cheating on me

What got you started vele

What led you to start amusing another?

What went through your mind when you lay with them?

What is it about size that let you compromise your virtues?

If there was substance in it then why did you keep leaping from one to the other?

Dear size queen

Whilst you were out filling yourself up

You lost a heart that was your home

You also missed one significant fact

These no strings attached setups are conditional

One of its provisions is that you must never catch feelings

They don’t want to be with you, they just want what you can offer them

Dear size queen

I was never the right size for you

But I loved you

Even when you were out there beholding perfect bodies

As much as size mattered to you

You disregarded that happiness matters to me

Life is too short to be selfish – I’m letting you go – I’m letting you find the right size…
