While you were out of town
I went to your house and
I slept in your bed and
I pet your cat and
made her purr and
under your soft blanket
I wondered if you
would ever love me enough
that you would want to kiss
every inch of the walls
that watch me sleep at night and
that is how I feel for you and
that is why I am here now w a i t i n g
for you to come home,
sometimes it seems the only way
to love you is to wait.
Will your memory foam mattress
tell you I was here?
I fell to sleep like
I was in your arms.
I watered the plants.
I fed your betta fish
just in case you had forgotten and
if the flowers on
the kitchen table don’t tell you,
I will:
I miss you more than...
