I Like You

I like bringing you a cup of tea
when you’re in the bath,
the steam from both soothing you,
holding you close.

I like watching you work,
the tiny pulse beneath your temple
beating to the drum of our love.

I like how we’re always together
in life and during the night.
We take turns being koalas,
and I like it best when
you’re the eucalyptus tree.
