I left you a note
on the mirror
which you'll see before i'm awake
it says something true
that i'm better at writing down
than saying out loud
you'll see it
that's enough

Still here
still yours
still surprised
that this is where i landed
of all the places
this one
you
yes

You say good morning
before anything else
every single day
without fail
without being asked
i didn't know how much that mattered
until i had it
now i do
now i know

I forgot what your voice sounds like
exactly
i remember the shape of it
the feeling of it
but the actual sound
it scares me sometimes
that memory does this
replaces the real thing
with the idea of it

The photo of us from that trip
is my lock screen still
four years later
my coworker noticed and didn't say anything
the right call on her part
the photo stays

I wrote you a poem
and then deleted it
because it wasn't good enough
this one isn't either
but you love me anyway
so here it is

Love is remembering
how you take your coffee
love is buying it before you ask
love is the small things done consistently
for years
until they aren't small anymore

We got lost
the restaurant was closed
we ate noodles from a place we found by accident
it was perfect
not because anything went right
but because you were there while it went wrong

Your side of the bed
still smells like you
i haven't washed the pillowcase
don't tell me to wash it
i know
but not yet

Eleven years today
we ate at the same place we always go
ordered the same things
held hands across the table
i love eleven years
i love ordinary
i love you every year including this one
