I'll run a bath only
for it to get cold because
you find me undressing
and leading me by the hand
take me into the bedroom.
I'll wake in the middle of the night
and the empty space in my heart
will be filled with the sound of you sleeping
next to me.
Your beautiful face
matched by your beautiful smile
the intimacy I crave
all mine.
Cherish.
We'll listen to music
and go for walks
at 4am when the light is subdued and soft
casting no shadow
eerie silence.
Footsteps.
I'll descend the stairs to see
your shoes next to mine
by the door and
you'll shower whilst I'll brush my teeth.
Together.
Discover all the things that make you
tick
Protect you from the things that
make you sad.
Time
on our hands.
I'll burn the toast and
you'll belly laugh
and pretend it doesn't matter, smothering it with jam.
You don't like jam.
My leg will rest upon yours
laying side by side
whispering nonsense.
Night, we'll drift apart
dreams will wake us and we'll meet in the middle
finding each other.
Embraces leading to caresses.
The telephone will ring but it'll be ignored
no one is important to us
it's all in this room.
Here.
Your shirt will be lazily thrown on the chair
in the bedroom
and I will catch the scent of your aftershave
on the quilt and pillow.
At the train station
we'll cry and clasping fingers
kiss and make promises.
Ache.
Returning, the house will feel empty
but finding traces of you
a tea stained cup, dirty socks
half finished crossword
creased bed,
sore and satisfied
I'll feel you
and us will be complete.
