4/10: Should

it was past midnight when i woke up from the sound of my alarm. 20min from now, you’ll be home and i bet you, you’ll be hungry. i’d whip up some eggs and heated some sardines in high hopes the fish would make you smile. im almost done when the familiar *click* on the door came. it’s you and your annoying set of keys echoing in our bare living room. i wouldve let you set your bag first but I couldn’t wait, i attacked you with kisses before​ you had the chance of closing the door behind you.


it’s past 1am and we’re still in the kitchen. you had your warm meal minutes ago but we’re still talking about the magical thing you do at work with excel. you asked me how my day went and we’d laugh at how you make fun of my boring job. at least i have it for our amusement, as if your job is different, i’ll say. and we’ll go on and on about it until i lead you to the bedroom to sleep. more of a tag but you’d soften up a bit and let me lead you earlier than you’d want to. it’d be 4hours till i wake up again but ill watch you change with my half-closed eyes until you crawl in the bed with me. of course we wouldn’t sleep yet since you’re such a talker and i’m such a tease and we’ll be up all night until the sunrise comes peaking from our window blinds. you’d whisper good morning to me and I’d be the last thing you’d see before you close your eyes.


i’d get up, take a shower and grab my things for work. i tiptoed around our bed just so i can kiss you goodbye lightly. i failed a thousand times since you always wake up in time to kiss me back. i’ll say goodbye, see you later tonight and you’ll say i love you and I’ll say it back.


should. this should’ve been us.
