re:

I love                                       you

a simple                                 text

Wednesday morning          at 7:31                   

I’m half-asleep                     but

I want                                     to reply

something                             lovingly

my dream                              is almost

my reality                               impossible

and my fantasy: me             your

in-the-future                          wife

next to you. I                         will         

(one day)                               spill

will say out loud                   our secret

I love you                               too
