I Just Remember Things

I know you take your coffee black Each morning at 9:30 You use a paisley cloth To clean your glasses when they're dirty Your wavy hair escapes its clip By quarter after two And last March, you wore mismatched socks One green, one navy blue. I know the way you hum That song from 2017, It's not that I am fond of you I just remember things There's cookies in the break room I know they're your favorite kind So I grabbed a couple extra Don't think anyone will mind I know you're really busy, so I brought them to your station I just wanted to make sure That you enjoyed the celebration Your next break isn't until four They'll all be gone by two It's not an act of love It's just what anyone would do. Please don't mistake This for feeling bewitched If my hands shake That's just the way they twitch I know the others don't recall The details of your life That's why they chose this cover story They'll believe that you're my wife Don't worry, I still know the score We both know it's a ruse Based on past dates, I know I'm not The partner that you'd choose We do the job, we come back home Return to normalcy Our time together will just be Another memory
