You & Me

I hate that I am laying in bed,

Cradling a mug of hot tea

And there is an image in my head

Of you, in the future, laying next to me.

I can see myself turning out the light

Before laying my head to rest,

And saying 'goodnight'

While my heart pounds in my chest

I can see us at our kitchen table

With coffee to start the day,

Both of us, comfortable and stable,

And then I would send you on your way.

I hate that I am laying in bed,

With a mug of cold tea,

Thinking of the moment of dread

When you left me.
