The air was filled with innuendo and

Nervous laughter

We had no thought or care for,

happily ever afters

As you sat there, asking me for detention

So passionately

I poured myself into you

without realising

You were everything

 

To me, but I couldn’t see through the trees,

I was so impressed with my dress and my

Blah blah blah

While you just took me in your arms

And made my life complete again.

 

Getting out of the car,

clutching my phone to my chest

Knowing it was the end of my life as I knew it,

But probably for the best

I sat listening to women talking about units,

Naughty, naughty units

While you texted cautiously,

sifting through your

Kitchen cabinets.

 

Now you clean our kitchen, with a relentless fervour

Under your breath you can’t help but murmur

At what on earth happened and what ever became of us?

 

But I would never change any of this

I watch the dog run around in rings

Like we do always with each other,

Not knowing whether to cry or sing.

 

I could be in the club right now

You should be somewhere, tearing up the floor.

Instead your cooking me pancakes

The smell of butter wafting through the door.

 

In any other place in any other time

I would find you and be with you

Because you will always be mine.
