I set your alarm for 9:00 hit the light on the TV (it took me way too long to figure out how) I threw a blanket over you and your limbs strength out of 3/4ths of the couch your head tilted and arms wrapped around my vacant space as if you were still being held I put your dishes in the sink I folded your glasses and put them on the nightstand with your phone so they wouldn't break I left a spot on the floor next to me in case you might decide to come down the only thing I didn't do was kiss your check 11:30 I heard you get up for water you set it by my feet and fell back asleep where I had last left you as for the water, I must have kicked it because when I woke up it was spilled all over the floor reminding me that I always seem to be the one to make the mess it was the only thing you noticed upon waking, the water glass so after you left I cleaned it, realizing as I did that you never come down to me last night so this time I cleaned until the room was spotless hoping this time you'd notice the difference I tried to create but you didn't come home that night

it was the only thing you noticed upon waking, the water glass
