There’s power in control. Words weigh more when they’re restricted to just a few. There’s more to imagine when left with what is just needed: you, me, and this moment.

Pretend to sleep a little more.
Finished the bad coffee you made.
Hold my hand under the jacket.
Stop smiling. I’m being vulnerable here.
Ear to ear we listened quietly.
The moonlight suits your skin well.
I read your letter six times.
Choosing to work this out daily.
The baby kicks when you’re singing.
You make sure I finish too.
