In a single evening,
we put your world to rights
and emptied your head of those things you never needed,
but could not shake off.
In a single evening,
we imagined what four walls would suit us best,
to keep us safe and give us strength.
In a single evening,
we held each other like it would be the only night we’d have;
like we feared being apart;
we were electric.
In a single evening,
we planned the first day of the rest of our lives,
to the letter of our names and the colour of our ties.
All that, in a single evening.
Just think of what we could do,
from now until forever.
