The last few days of summer, we picked up Chinese food - as we walked home - it was still so warm - even at 9pm - and the slow trickle of rain made us think we were in Thailand or one of those tropical countries we'd always spoken of travelling to.
Speaking of - we talked about religion and you told me there was no such thing just rules and beliefs that we attached to in order for some purpose. You asked me to pass you the sweet and sour sauce because the food was bland and you hated anything lacklustre - if it was - you didn't want it - so sometimes I was surprised you wanted me and while we carried on talking about faith and people i was distracted by this thought but too distracted by fear to ever echo it aloud.
There was silence between us - tired from it all - bodies now aching - but how content I was - and i basked in how comfortable and satisfying the sound of nothing was - no interference - no white noise - i didn't know that a sound could taste like home
