i guess i knew we’d be drifting
i just didn’t know it would come
in the form of unfamiliarity
regarding how we end phone calls
and what words we use
to address each other
and now when we’re together
tangled in each other
in some desperate act of
breathlessness
you call me by my first name
with passion, but so formally
and i could have sworn
for those 35 minutes
we were strangers
