You're the One He's There for

He's there, you know. Just before dawn

When half awake you smell coffee,

When you feel touched, but all are gone

When at night the hall creaks softly

And in the days and night that pass

You dimly hear his voice once more,

In the breeze, trees, the empty class

He's there. You're the one he's there for.
