After Eight Years

“You used to be romantic, you’re never romantic anymore!”

to be honest
I don’t ever remember being romantic

I do remember a time
when you used to live in your own apartment,
our cars were not shared,
and I had a different phone number than yours

however,
after eight years
we still have separate beds;

you asleep in my bed
and me asleep on our couch
