I wish you were here
I wish you were near
You've already crawled from my bed
Already said all there is to be said
I felt you leave
You pulled back the covers ever so gently
Then set them back
I heard your cloths rumple as you pulled them on

You stopped and paused for just a moment
Paused by the door
My heart raced and I prayed for more
Then the handle creeked in your hands
So did the floorboards
You walked slow and steady
Not quite sure of your own steps

But you took that last one
Right off my front step
