This Is About Yesterday

There are times when both of us are in foul moods.
When neither of us will admit
how grumpy we are
and we fall back on our routine.
We ask each other "are you ok?"
and we respond "fine"
when we are most definitely not.
We share a meal,
watch Lost or The Wire
and drink lots of coffee.
We go for a walk or bike ride.
Go to the movie theater.
Maybe dicker over which pint of ice cream to buy.
And at some point I realize.
My worries and anxieties
have vanished, melted away.
That your simple companionship
has smoothed my edges
mended my cracks
and calmed my inner turbulence.
I hope it is the same for you.
