mornings with us

cars bustling, I can still see the moon

your cologne lingers, drifting to the room

the coffee warmer clicks on and off

still warming an empty pot

helping you in your busy morning

i guess i must have forgot

hat, phone, wallet, keys --

but you stop in the rush, before you leave

for one last hug, just one last squeeze

a kiss of course, and "come home to me please"

grab your lunch, your coffee, and off you go

leaving me alone, with just the sound

of cars outside our window
