The grass was warmed up under daylight
And we stepped out to let the sun do the same to us
And watch it turn into the evening
Cans from the corner shop on the way
You didn't flinch as you picked up the same three drinks we always get
It's so nice to be known so well
Hours walk us up to dinner time and
I'm exactly there and not outside myself as I usually am
Frisbee and falling over grass on knees like when we were kids
On the walk back i empty my pockets over a bin
An old rizla and a strip of filters
Even though I gave up when the doctor called in 2020
3p in two coins
Gum tied up with its wrapper
On the skip hop to catch up with you guys I see it from above again
We are propped up beside each other
Made through kitchen conferences
And car home interventions
Stories you've told more than twice
That I don't think I'll ever interrupt
Hours of gently filling ourselves with one another
And knowing even our loudest claims
That this is just sofa time wasted days
Will never be enough to make us go to bed
Until our eyes get heavy and we conspire to finish the show tomorrow
I see right through you now
And it all looks better out the other side
