not quite in love

she made her list
of lovers
before she died and left
it in a drawer
of her desk,
it was updated
a week before
she passed.
she used a five star
rating system.
it was a modest number
of men
in her life,
me being the last,
and apparently to my
surprise
one woman.
she was the only person
who got five
stars, where as
i came in at two
I left the list,
and took
the pen to write
a note to those who
were coming
to claim her things.
the key is
in the shed, on the top
shelf, I wrote.
and moved on, saying
nothing about
the list. she was right.
