And just like that

When lockdown started, we ended
Anxious, nervous, our love suspended
You left the country to go back home
I was left to cry on my own
The days turned into weeks and we were so disconnected
This was the last thing that I expected

4 months later you came back.

Standing in front of each other, we did not know how to embrace one another
I was filled with fear that our interactions would be sour
in a desperate struggle to keep a sense of power

But it was the opposite, it was optimistic and warm, as though the previous 4 months were just memories to be torn

Both confused about what to do, you hugged me and then I hugged you
A silent forgiveness filled the space between us, and just like that, we are in love again.
