I thought whilst we slept

I thought whilst we slept
(or you at least)
Breath pattern changing
Chest rising and falling
like I was for you
These days
unusual in their stunted ways
The two of us confined to limited space
Turned on with music turned up
we danced
Me on my toes
rubbing noses
Months now
Those breathless giggles
punctuated by cups of tea
rounds of recipes
sat on the worktop
You cooking in the kitchen
calling me your other half
and I laughed
Wondered how you, so full
Could ever be seen as just one of two
