hands&bones: I once had a lovely time

this was that time –

  the time we saw a movie.

we drove there at night

  almost 10 o’clock.

we sat in the back up against a wall

  we made faces at each other and held hands.

‘this movie sucks’

  ‘let’s stay a little longer’

we endured for another ten minutes

  but it was worth it being there together.

now as I watch you lowered into the ground

  I can’t help but wonder

If you’d be waking at 9am for work if we left then and there

  or if we’d be making faces and holding hands till the movie ended.
