LXXVIII. Favour

my summer is dying
with my phone in your pocket
and our last few days spent
picking at each other's lunches
(it's unsaid but said in everything)
and fingers on shoulder blades
in passing.

and maybe i'll catch you come Christmas time
find our moment in the limelight
when you give me that ride on your motorbike
(which you hadn't forgotten)
and give me that grin that you have.
