How did we
Get to where
Our hearts now
Reside in you?

I remember
Waking, worrying
About making you late
For work, for life
Outside our 2-bedroom,
4-wall sleeping chamber;
I remember
The bus rides,
Waiting, walking
About to find time to waste
For sanity, for clarity
Of what we needed when
Nothing was attainable;
I remember
You driving in the evening,
Picking me up
Before you could fall asleep
And we could
Repeat the reality
Of being together
For the rest.
