i wrote “i love you”
in the fog on the bathroom mirror
after washing you off my skin
and stood there staring
as the words disappeared slowly
running like tears down your cheeks
running like we were running
out of love
out of time
ending up dripping down the drain
of the sink
under the bathroom mirror
you slid off me
as easily as fog slides off a mirror
