In the bathroom at night
I’m flossing my teeth and listening to the lone bell out on the ocean
Dark waves slap at its sides
And so it rings
When a message from you also rings
“I was remembering what it felt like
To fall asleep with you in my arms
When things weren’t so weird
And I was so comfortable
It was warm
Soothing
Unless I was intentionally laying awake
To hear you sleep
I would be asleep in seconds nuzzled into your back
Or I would lay awake at night
And trace your skin by moonlight as you slept”
Suddenly it occurs to me
I don’t think I can love you enough
For I am ringing out loud
And your waves keep slapping at my sides
In the dark
Alone out on the ocean
