I don’t know what it is in me that yearns to be the lifeboat that people throw themselves at when they are drowning. I wanted to taste the salt on your skin, to press my mouth against the violent curve of you.

When we met, you recited the list of girls you’d been through since your breakup. You didn’t use any of their names. I still wonder what my euphemism is—whether I’m the American or the girl who wrote a poem about fucking you. Maybe I will be both. Maybe I don’t even make the list.

For me, you are the thirty-three-hour date, and the man who takes his tea the way I take mine in the morning when no one else is around: too much milk, too much honey. You are the man I refused to kiss goodbye.
