To explain the setting of the poem:
The three lovers:
Me - The gay man who once believed himself to be bisexual and thus dated the girl
The girl - An innocent girl who made the mistake of falling in love with a coward who can't give her the closure she needs (that coward being me)
The guy - a third party who seems attracted to the girl and has also caught my eye
The problem: I'm not sure if I'd feel better served by him giving her a distraction from me or by having him to myself. The second isn't really a possibility but the heart doesn't care much for practicality.
