They form over months, subtle and sneaky,
habits we’ve picked up by merging so sweetly.
Checking ingredients without a second thought,
carrying a full deck of cards just in case they’re sought.
Clothes cleaned and ironed for an overnight stay,
fried eggs swapped for part of the other’s breakfast: a good start to the day.
One bathing, one readying the bed,
one solving puzzles, one having just read.
Phone calls and messages each day we’re apart,
‘I love you’ said often but not so much that it loses its spark.
