I can go anywhere I want to at any time,

doesn’t have to worry about no clock now.

Have  a bowl of cereal for my dinner also,

a full course dinner isn’t aways cooked.

****

I can  sleep in a sweat shirt and pants,

no need to wear my lacy things anymore.

Pull my long hair in a ponytail if need be,

my extensive make up is in my drawers.

****

I can even adjust to doing dishes for one,

after all how much can one person consume?

The hard part is sleeping in our bed all alone,

your left behind  pillow records  all of my tears.

****

I can even begin to put my life back together,

putting all my tears in the past and moving on.

My smile will finally reach my dark blue eyes,

no one will realize that my heart is still mending.

****

But I would much rather be home alone  with you,

the clock will watch as we make passionate love.

We can then cook a romantic dinner just for us two,

cuddle me close on the sofa as we watch a movie.

****

Wear the black lace nightie so you can remove it,

watch as you remove the black clip from my hair.

My heavy tresses  fall to my now naked shoulders,

you run your hands through it as you now kiss me.

****

In the early morning I can catch up on the dishes,

remake our now empty bed with clean fresh sheets.

Smile at the memory of what me and you did there,

if our luck holds out we will do it once again tonight.

****

Thank our lucky stars that we are still a loving pair,

our future has been written for us by our own hearts.

We are walking on a solid foundation just made for us,

together hand in hand we can face almost anything.

****

But in the morning your wet pillow is my reality check,

that’s its high time to face life’s challenges on my own.

My heart will mend just fine and my  blue eyes will shine,

I’m hoping  one day that you will be a fading memory.

****

But I would rather be anywhere with you instead of this,

it matters very little to me where you pick or even why.

But since we are apart I know that I will survive all this,

the future I now  face is finally mine and mine alone .
