On the Day Before

Last night
   we paused our
  Bickerings
        Long enough to agree
    We'd never make it
                          here.

But look.
      Look!
    You're amazing
       and I know this.
  Know it like I know
      Water tastes like nothing
                            and
      Whiskey tastes like sin.
              Like I know
     You were meant for
             more than this
     You were meant for
             me.

And Look.
     I love you
  and you know this
       like you know
   How to move your toes
       Like you know
  That I'm going to drop food
            or
              Get lost
            or
               Fall asleep on the train.

Look.
    I'm not perfect
         and
    I'm not tall.
         This is true.
But I want to
       Father your children
    and
       Share your coffee
    and
       Share a bed with you.

Always.
