her
him
--
today
tonight
it begins
it begins
as the lazy afternoon
as the cold night
kisses her skin hotly
numbs his body slowly
she makes herself iced tea
he makes himself hot cocoa
before sitting on the couch
before leaning against the windowsill
just to watch the sun
just to watch the moon
wishing
wishing
for someone to hear
for someone to listen
how happy she is
how broken he is
to live
to exist
today
tonight
it begins
it ends
with a sigh
with a yawn
