You said love because love is better than just living
I said I can’t remember love and I’m not having fun
You said sometimes love can be found on the porch
I said something about broken loves and past loves
You said no love is past and no love is broken
I said now is not the time to start on this again
You said love is strong but shouldn’t sleep alone
I said this feels over but the next day I heard you
Singing in the shower an old song about love
Your voice future-facing and then I remembered
How your smile used to remind me of moonlight
But how all I ever think about now is the math
You told me that night the math didn’t matter
And then we said nothing for a very long time
We sat on the porch holding hands and waiting
For what we didn’t know until finally we did
