In Your Room

 The first time in your room.

I saw this place through video calls---

you being you, just existing in it.

I remember the things we said we'd do

once I was finally here.

The plans, the dreams, the waiting.

I noticed when the books were rearranged.

When the wall changed.

When the sheets did.

I saw you clean it.

I saw you fall asleep in that bed.

And now, I'm here.

In your room.

And I remember everything.

This room is special.

Our love grew here - in conversations,

in pixels, in shared silences.

Now, your lover is here.

In your room.

In front of you.

With love in her eyes.
