The new dawn is breaking into our home, into our room through our window to take you away, to take you away from me again, to package you up in a suit and tie. The light is invading our space illuminating your scruffy morning face that I wonβt see again for a little while.
I pretend that if I ask you to stay, to stay for me, to stay with me here, here where the smoothly flowing cold sea of sheets between my fingers fail to fill the spaces the way your warm hands do, that youβll assure me that you wonβt be gone for too long, that weβll be together again soon, that everything will be fine, right before you pull your body away from me and let go of my hand because I do not, will not let go of my own accord.
