Though…
Though
we slept in the same bed for years
You
dreamt of hills, I dreamt of the seven seas
Though
we woke up together in the soft morning light
You
just wanted tea I wanted a new world
Though
we took trams, trains and cars for work
Your
cell phone was active yet mute, mine was about vibrating sound
Though
we watched movies together
You
liked the brain-brawn combo I was hooked to love in love stories
Though
we ate together everyday at home or cafes or in restaurants
I
mostly ate what you liked as I grew to like them too
Though
we wore what we liked, I knew what you liked you never did
Our
incessant meetings at intersections laughed at our parallel routes
As
we held hands and our entwined fingers spoke in silent dialogue.
