it was quiet when you got up

to use the bathroom

it was quiet when you kissed me on the head

grabbed your keys

and left

it was quiet when the imprint of your body

warmed the sheets and emitted all the loving grace that is you

that seeped long into my dreams

and long into my breakfast daze

holding a cold cup of coffee

aware that you’ve been working for hours now

it  was quiet when you slipped past our home

its been quiet all day.

…..its been quiet all day.
