To His Not So New Girl

I would say take care of him

But you’ve already done that before me.

I would say love him as much as I wish I did

But you’ve already beat me to that before.

I would say how he loves to cuddle

But you already knew that.

I would tell you about his tickle spots

But you were the one who discovered it first.

I would warn you that sometimes his ego gets in the way

But you dealt with that before.

Lastly, I would say to never let him go

But you already did and he came back.
