For the past two days my horoscope
has advised against saying I love you
if I don’t mean it
so now I’m wondering if I meant it.
You replied with a picture of your
new cat slippers. It’s okay if you want
to be a gift
you gave me once,
if you want to hide in the kisses
that came before those trapped
between your thighs.
I remember running
my hands through your hair in the
rain but that was a different girl.
I cupped her face.
We couldn’t stop smiling.
