âTodayâs âthank youâ â for you saying, âI want it, even knowing itâs a contradiction.â
Todayâs âI love youâ â for your honesty in accepting a small, uncertain allowance.
Tomorrowâs âre-choosingâ â Iâll wait beside you as you stand on the stage.â
ââThatâs cheating.â
âWhich part?â
âPerfect as a sleep aid.â
You laughed and turned off the light.
We stayed like that, quietly, adjusting our body temperature for tomorrow.
