the shipper

there’s a lady here
who I’ve only met
once before. she knew you
before we even met.
her name is Jennifer
or Laura or Mary –
not Sue. we bonded
instantly and she said
she would come to my
show, but despite
an email reminder,
she never showed.

she was one of the many
who saw how we
bantered and said
we made a good
couple, even though
we weren’t. she got a
Moonlighting vibe
from us. she
shipped it.

welp, the writers fucked up
our storyline, and
now I’ve got a new
love interest. so
much better for me
than you. I’d love
to introduce her to him,
but I can’t for
the life of me
remember
her name.
