when I was less in love
I think

behind me
while getting dressed.

and our bodies always found their ways back to each other
as if they were meant to be together
Close.

again
in the mirror
behind me while getting dressed

alone
without actually falling asleep because I’m scared of the moment I will wake up
and realise it was just a dream
You’re actually gone.
Now all I can do is get through to another tomorrow
hoping that I will be less in love
again
Like yesterday
But not today.
