We only work on the weekends
like full-time students with
part-time jobs.
There is no 9-5, no Monday
through Friday version of us
I can’t even imagine you existing
on a Tuesday afternoon.
This is pocket-money love
which will keep us afloat until
we graduate to become real adults
and find real adult love.
