together
27 Dec
Tonight we worked together
He hung the blinds
while I washed the walls
Together
We talked and we joked
And enjoyed comfortable silence
And took breaks to check our email
Together
We got the room ready
Cleared the floor
Discussed furniture placement
Together
We small talked about music
And whether or not he could make it to the gym before it closed
And when I would take my shower
Together
We moved in the new mattresses
Stretched the sheets across the bed
Laid down side by side to test it for comfort
Together
We were partners tonight
Just as we have been for almost 11 years
We’ve done almost everything,
Together
But tonight
I’ll go to bed in my new bed
In my new room
Alone.
