that night
he noticed...
that my hair
smelled different
like a day at the beach
or something
he said
pulling me into
his arms
as he told me
he liked the change
letting me go
as he began
to unpack
putting his clothes
back on hangers
his pillows back on
the bed
filling in all
the empty space
he'd left behind
asking what i'd
been up to
since he was away.
