let me wake him still sleepy
made me tea
danced at our ex’s wedding
cooked surprise pizzas
held me while I talked about my father
bought a silver teapot
walked me to the doctor’s office
took my hand
made me tea
rumpled my hair as he walked by
brought me red roses
on Valentine’s day
made me tea
hugged me on the subway station
on the way to see a play
tucked me in and kissed me goodnight
that there were all those other days
