The contacts by the bed
That meant that she was there
The warm smell of her hair after a shower
Hot chocolate by the road
That evening when it snowed
A tear-duct overload
(and she said)
“Have you really never done all this before?
You should have said, I could have given you a guided tour
You play me like an expert
I knew you weren’t a fool
But where did you…learn to do that?”
Her reciting folk tunes
On morning afternoons
Untidy double rooms of shoes and towels
A weekend in the lakes
A fancy-dress mistake
The look upon her face
(when she said)
“Have you really never done all this before?
You should have said, I could have given you a guided tour
You play me like an expert
I knew you weren’t a fool
But where did you…learn to do that?”
