Warm baths,
morning coffee,
and an extra pack of smokes.
Doctors visits,
back rubs,
and late night movies.
Those are all signs of love.

Sometimes intimacy is more like
kids laughing on a Tuesday,
car rides with the windows down,
and saying, “Go get some rest.”

It’s also sometimes passionate kisses
when your friends aren’t looking,
and warm showers
that leave you both with ***** thoughts.

It’s “Be safe, please.” after every “I love you,”
and “Wear your seatbelt.”

And it was still never enough.
