If You Give a Girl a Chair by Peyton Scott
There must have been a day
when you grabbed a cup off of the top shelf for me, one I couldn’t reach without standing on a chair. There must have just been one day
where I stopped grabbing the chair,
stopped standing on the counter,
stopped reaching for a glass I would almost break, and just started waiting for you.
And the list of things that I needed you for just grew and grew
and grew
until I didn’t know what to do with myself, how to live with myself.
I don’t know when I decided
to get the chair back out,
to stand on it like it was the highest point on earth, but you can see for miles up here.
