rehearsal

we bonded over pictures

and words exchanged for weeks

so when we made our date

I rehearsed some lines

aiming for a smile, a laugh,

a jolt of chemical romance

the countdown was up

and there you were

in flesh and denim

I forgot my lines

thankfully,

I didn't forget how to fall

and you didn't forget how to catch me
