letters(about you.)

not everything is about you,

just a few things,

just certain things,

important things.

and life happens in between:

before I take my shower

and brush my teeth,

before I undress and dress up.

it happens when

I feel blue, tired,

walk with my head down,

cry and fall asleep

on my sofa with the tv on,

when I have yesterday’s-cold pizza

and coffee for lunch…

there are days

when you walk through the door.

there are holidays.

and other days,

when I take Tylenol

for my headache… .
