My eyes stare at nothing
As the dogs bark outside
And now I’m up
Not because of the noise,
But because of recent memories
I have of you.
You have said the dogs outside your place,
Wake you every morning.
And now I’m smiling
In a funny sort of way
Remembering that little conversation.
And I start to think;
How odd that the same noise
Should cause us both to wake.
Even though we’re so far apart…
And how lovely that something
so strange as a distant noise
Could make me smile like I am now…
And how funny that,
Now I’m up-
-
And I cannot blame the dogs…
because…
I thought of you.
