Days of Our Lives
Nothing important happened and that’s how I know it mattered
No grand declarations no music swelling in the background no moment begging to be remembered
Just you and me and time forgetting to rush us
We woke up late sunlight already settled in the room like it had been waiting patiently for us to catch up
you mumbled something half asleep and I answered like it made perfect sense
and maybe it did
coffee went cold on the counter because we kept getting distracted by nothing by everything
a joke that wasn’t funny until you laughed a silence that didn’t need fixing a glance that lasted longer then it should have
we didn’t go anywhere
the world stayed outside like it understood it wasn’t invited
hours passed without announcing themselves just slipping quietly from one small moment to the next
you leaned against me like it was second nature like we had always fit this way
and I didn’t think about it which is strange since I overthink everything
but not this this was easy
like breathing like existing like the kind of peace you don’t notice until it’s gone
and maybe tomorrow will be louder harder full of things that pull us apart
but today nothing happened and somehow
it felt like everything
