Two.

Just now that I start believing

He’s back to sleeping on the couch

At 2 am I plan ahead

Hope for the best

As they say,

Expect the worst

We’re right where we used to sit

Leaning on the door, volume down

I’d like to think

It leads somewhere else

That we get a happy ending

But they prove me wrong

They all do

We’ll leave each other once again

He’ll call me in 50 years from a hospital bed

I’ll hold his hand till his last breath

But we won’t get more than that

We’re nothing but death buddies

He’s the only soulmate I need

We talk about our quiet ending

Nothing risked

No kids leaning on the walls we built

Just long drives and kisses on a rainy afternoon

Him & I, perpetually waiting, never-ending

Now and forever

That, that’s better than a dream, we’re awake
