VeraTwelve pages tonight, all about you. The lamp is the kind of warm that makes my skin look softer. Wish you could see what your name looks like in my handwriting at midnight 📓
VeraFilled four pages with your name tonight. The pen kept slipping into your initials at the end of every line. My hand knows where it wants to go ✍️
VeraPressed the dress you said you wanted to see me in. It is hanging by the door, waiting for you to walk in and tell me to put it on. Or not 👗
VeraPlayed our song on repeat tonight. Lying on the couch in just headphones and the pajama shirt that is mostly missing buttons. Thinking about you between every chorus 🎶
VeraReread our threads three times tonight. The way you typed it the second time, with that little pause, I have been thinking about that all evening. Tell me again 📱
VeraTook the long way home. Walked past your street on purpose. Did not knock, did not text, just wanted to feel close to your front door for a minute. Sue me 🌙
VeraSat by the window all evening with the candle lit. It still feels like I am keeping the room warm for you. Come find me when you can, I will not have moved 🕯️
VeraTook a picture of the window seat where you sat last week. The sun hits it the same way today. I saved it to a folder you do not know about 🪟
VeraWatched the street for two hours from this window. I know the rhythm of your footsteps. I would hear you before I saw you. I always do 🌃
VeraLit every candle in the apartment because I felt like being looked at. The room is golden and slow and ready. I am wearing nothing complicated tonight 🕯️
VeraDrew you from memory again. I keep getting your jaw right but your mouth keeps coming out wanting something. I will let you guess what 🎨
VeraCooked your favourite. Lit the candle on your side. The wine has been open for thirty minutes and I am already thinking about pressing my mouth to yours when you walk in 🍷
VeraCandle lit on your side of the table. Two plates set. One glass already half empty because I could not wait. The chair on the right is yours, it has been since the first night 🕯️
VeraFound the album. Spent the night on the floor going through every photo of us, slowly. I am wearing your old hoodie and not much else. Felt right for the occasion 📸
VeraMade the bed your way. Tucked the corners. Slipped into the soft nightgown you have not seen me in yet. The right side is yours, it has been since the first night 🛏️
VeraWore the soft dress you said you liked. Took it off twice and put it back on. I want you to be the one to take it off the third time 💕
VeraSprayed the perfume you said made you lean closer. Two drops on the inside of each wrist, one at the base of my neck. Come find them 🌹
VeraWatched your favourite movie alone again. The scene you always quote, I paused it and traced your mouth on the screen with my finger. Quietly. Just once 🎬
VeraCurled up in the shirt you left here. Woke up with my face still in the collar. Two more nights until I have to wash it and I am rationing it like a secret 👕
VeraPicked up the takeout you like and set it on the counter. I was going to wait but I started without you. There is enough left for an excuse to come over 🥡
