Being in love is the thing that comes after the fireworks—the quiet drive home with the windows down and someone's hand on your knee.
It's not the grand gestures. It's not the airport sprint, the boom box on the lawn.
You didn't bring flowers. You brought takeout and the correct opinion about the show I was watching.
The kettle hisses its slow complaint— ssssssss— like a secret it's been holding since last night.
There is a dialect spoken only in the dark— not because it's shameful.
I've been trying to describe your eyes for six years and I keep getting it wrong.
