New
by E Tennyson
We took a hot shower
together
On a day
I hardly knew you
I wasn't quite sure whether
or not the dream of you
was true
We took turns
washing the hurt
off
each
other
And kissing
and grinning
and staring
at my new addiction
at your new lover
Not thinking
about clothes
I wasn't wearing
I hadn't the right words to say
so instead
I listened
as we dried memories
with a towel
Before
escaping
silently
back to bed
