TGCOYS

It was a Tuesday.
We drank red wine and you made us stir-fry for dinner.
You asked me how my day was.
I told you it was okay.
But you were always so intuitive.

It was a Tuesday.
We talked about work and family and love.
You knew something was dragging me down.
I explained that I had been feeling detached lately.
But you always knew just what to say.

It was a Tuesday.
We lit the candle that we had bought the day before.
You told me how everyone has a door to their heart.
I told you I was hesitant to let you open mine.
But you already had the key.

It was a Tuesday.
We sat on your bed and listened to Radiohead on vinyl.
You asked me what I was so afraid of happening if you opened my door.
I said, “What if all you find is a bunch of rocks and salamanders?”
But you immediately replied, “I’ll take good care of your salamanders.”
