I miss our was , our nevers and nots
And our mornings in between
When the clutches of our bed don’t seem so bad
And single shirt of mine was enough to stave your chill
As I grasped your face from under the cotton, bringing your lips closer to my own
Because I woke first, and couldn’t wait a second more
Followed by our quiet content shared over coffee
though dawning’s sun was never warmer than what we held.

I’ll miss our morning walks
In the snugness of the cold
The shoppers were out
But we had the street to ourselves.
Questions raised on whose family to visit that holiday season
But it never really mattered.
It was one big happy.


Rolling eyes in tandem with a pleasure filled sigh
At jokes you've heard before
Though you never tell me to quit
No matter if its good or bad
I’ll always hear a  laugh
Because you always get it.



I’ll miss our 2’o clock lunches
When we aimed for 1:30
But our favourite barista,
she kept our space
That one by the window
But still in the corner
We could see out into a world
Hidden from view.
The hours, they all can go by
With dips of sauces and daps of who’s not so nice at work
And at the end I’ll get the check
Not because you couldn't
You earned more than me in fact
But we just liked it this way
You’d say you’d get the next the one
Id smile and say yes
Glad our little game was to carry on


I’ll miss our evening drives home
Content with walking for another while
But desire of our humble abode grew too strong
A place of our own
No one else through the door
Songs passed like kisses on the cheek
Do you want another one ?


I'll miss the meals we make
As we cook our favourites atop our stove
While my head finds its place
Tender on your shoulder
You stir the ***
A mixture of us both
While I boil the necessary
Previous renditions have left their mark





I’ll miss the clean up I did
Because I wanted you to rest
I do it quicker each time.
You never fail to ask
Do you need some help?
Met with a shake and a smile
I never say yes


I’ll miss our conversation in the ads
Catching on the caught up
Heaving feet from made heaven
Because even God could improve his home
With a simple cup of tea.
I call mine normal
And yours completely insane
You smile as I say it
Knowing I’m the one who loads it in the trolley
It has your name

I’ll miss our missing of the ending
It wont make our top ten
We want to see what’s next in our story.
You and I, we always buy a ticket
We pack the lot
In our two seat theatre

I’ll miss our clothes and how they mix with the dirt  
As They sit still on the floor
You and I , we couldn’t wait any longer
We want to feel once more

I’ll miss our love
And how it gets better every time
Our eyes saying more than our words could
But only for a short while
Because i never give up the chance to say those words
I just can’t help myself.

Connecting
Safety
Pleasure
All rolled into one

You were what I dreamed of.




Our spoils get shared
Our 1 + 1
makes just shy of its sum


I’ll miss our whispers
after tooth filled grins
With kisses in between.omissions of heards before
But it never gets boring
No one can get us here
This is us to our own


We are so glad
So glad we didn’t miss
The life that never happened
The greatest story never told
