Description
I miss you when you're asleep
even though you're next to me
breathing

I imagine that you're dead
and that you're with me but not in body
-that makes your sleeping body a nice surprise
when my mind comes back to me

I miss you when you're at work
even though we're busy people
who earn money
I wish we could just lay around hugging each other
a few more hours a day

Sometimes it's very hard to leave you
to catch the bus
even though I'm fine once I'm on
I still loathe letting go of your hand

I hope in five years time I can still surprise myself
by remembering that you're alive,
next to me,
and I'm your wife.
