I never thought,

I’d change my mind,

I was sure,

I was done,

I’d taken back, I closed the door.

 

I guess I wanted,

You to fight,

You to want,

To change your mind,

About our life and what it meant.

 

Then you were honest,

And I was happy,

We spoke our hearts,

We reconnected,

Resolved to fight but never mask

 

And here we are,

Freshly laundered,

Comforting,

Wholly satisfying,

Quietly wondering.

 

How long will these clothes stay clean?
