You're leaning in the doorway watching her. You do it a lot these days.
She's washing dishes - you should help her, but can't tear your eyes away.
Up to her elbows in foam and dirty water, to you she is angelic - face bathed in morning sunshine, hair falling in her eyes.
You smile when she raises an elbow, clumsily brushes her hair away.
And you feel it, twisting inside you again.
If you had to give it a name, you'd call it tenderness.
Tenderness is enough.
You don’t entertain the possibility that some could mistake this for love.
