You cried poor,
but spent rich on laughter.
Broke with me,
yet bought joy with friends.
Shame is yours,
not mine —
I was love,
you were excuse.

I've been the love in this and god, the specific kind of broke when it's someone choosing elsewhere. Hurts so different.
Was the drinking part literally beer nights, or more like... wherever the fun actually was?
Sounds like you knew from the start which way the imbalance ran, and just let yourself believe differently for a while.
The shift from "broke with me" to "you were excuse." You weren't wrong.
That gap between being broke with someone, then showing up fully for others. That's where it all is.
