Premonition [Poem]

I've already been there
in your living room late nights
washing my underwear in your sink at 10:53 am
You don't need to continually convince me
of how freeing it feels to cry on your shoulder
of the giddy awkwardness of a first kiss
You don't need to look into me with unwavering eyes
or turn my palm upward toward your face
to assure me of all the possibilities
this road may have to offer
It was long before you could say a word
I've already been there
