We promise we will take a daily dose of each other We promise we won't notice how we become a habit We promise we will recognize so much of us in cheezy love songs and poetry We promise we won't notice how poetry turns to prose how prose turns to factual reports about how our days were notice how what was that thing only we had going becomes an item on a silent list between the brushing of teeth and the getting up for work how a fingertip brushing our grey callous skins draws retreat and silent apologies where it once drew goosebumps how our lips black from unspoken misunderstandings yearn for way back when Maybe we should have overdosed when we still could We would have died in bliss we heard the uncle cynic's snicker stain the "till death do us part" with truth

We do
We promise we will take a daily dose of each other We promise we won't notice how we become a habit We promise we will recognize so much of us in cheezy love songs and poetry We promise we won't notice how poetry turns to prose how prose turns to factual reports about how our days were notice how what was that thing only we had going becomes an item on a silent list between the brushing of teeth and the getting up for work how a fingertip brushing our grey callous skins draws retreat and silent apologies where it once drew goosebumps how our lips black from unspoken misunderstandings yearn for way back when Maybe we should have overdosed when we still could We would have died in bliss we heard the uncle cynic's snicker stain the "till death do us part" with truth
