{ten|singing}

i heard you singing,

once.

you thought i was asleep.

you sang a few lines from Bridge Over Troubled Water

by Simon and Garfunkel.

i'd told you once it was my favourite song.

hearing you sing reminded me why i fell in love with you.

but then i realised i could smell pot,

so i scrunched my eyes closed

nothing had changed

so pretended i was still

blissfully asleep.
