You show up unexpected
a pleasant surprise

How overjoyed I am
to be reunited with you

You'll only stay a little while
but I am so grateful for the time I get

The days pass on quickly
things almost feel like they used to

Before we grew up
and carved our own paths

But then you must leave again
You wake me up to say goodbye

I give a bleary farewell
it feels more like a dream

I love you, I say
You reply, "I love you too. A lot."

You close the door
I fall back asleep

I wake up and
creep into the hallway

I look for you
in the den where you should be

But you are gone
and the house lays silent.
