today
was such a good day
it was such a good day

(and it didn't even start
that way)

but it began when i found my place
on your side
flanked by another

when we became three
not two disconnected
but three intertwined

and sitting there i could imagine
us sitting there so many
more times
so many more times
until we were known
as three
boy girl boy
boy boy girl
girl boy boy
until it ceased to matter

and our parents knew each others names
and we spoke in secret whispers
in the night
and you knew everything
before i told you
myself
