Laundry

speaks for itself

We meet.

We laugh.

I do your laundry.

You teach me how to play Frisbee golf and you tell me about your parents. 

I ask you to tell me something you've never told anyone

So you tell me who you voted for.

I tell you that I’m going away.

You tell me not to worry.

You eat your first strawberry to impress me

And you eat the stem.

I tell you that I’m not ready.

You tell me you can wait.

You wait.

I tell you that I’m still not ready.

We make plans for when I am.

You tell me that I’m special.

You wait.

You wait.

I break someone’s heart.

You’re there for me.

I tell you that I’m ready.

I’ve never seen you happier.

You take me to a restaurant that I know you hate.

I listen to country music for the first time.

You tell me that you don’t want to mess this up.

I meet your best friends.

They tell me that I’m special.

You go to New York.

I do your laundry.

You hurt me.

They say I deserve better.

But they don't know you like I do.

I tell you that I’m going away.

You say you want to make it work.

I get scared.

We fight.

You break my heart.

You say I broke yours first.

Maybe we would both be better off

If I hadn’t done your laundry.

Great. I like the simple way you have written this and it works well. I also like the way there is a lot of humour buried in the telling. There is also a lot of truth about the course of relationships that most of us will relate to - the course of true love never runs smoothly!
Welll done,
