We ate cookies on one of our first dates together sitting smushed into a loveseat park bench, chocolate chip, gooey, warm, soft, too expensive but worth it. I licked the corner of your mouth, and you kissed me then, with meaning, with purpose, like it was forever. It was beautiful then & innocent.
We eat cookies together on the couch now, six years later and opposite sides. You don't look at me, I look at you with half open eyes, I'm tired, I'm like the yellow lamp in a suburban town on a dead-end street, waiting for you to come home, but you don't and you never will.
I watch you talking on your phone. I sit up, click into Google & a cookie pops up "Tinder Swipe Right. It Starts Here. Start Something Epic." We share everything now, Wifi passwords, Netflix, Hulu, a Peloton.....................
