Crossed Fingers

her

I wake up.

 

He’s still asleep.

 

I kiss him.

 

I do it quiet.

 

Just so he won’t notice.

 

He doesn’t.

 

I write a letter.

 

I tell him what I feel.

 

I tell him about the fire.

 

I tell him I love him.

 

I put it into the drawer in his car.

 

So he’ll never find it.

 

Because I know he never checks it.
