This day is ending as the car is put into park,
the lights turned off, and I look over at you
sitting beside me, blank stare looking forward.
My hand grips onto you and you come back to me,
a glimpse of you, it bursts forth and my heart
jumps, loving you, for only a second before we go.
It is so early, before dawn, I'm awake and staring.
You are still dreaming, still waiting, still not here.
Soon it will come, the light to show us laying here.
My hand slides underneath these many covers,
it touches you and wraps me around you,
I am much closer now, to you, to hold you.
You respond, and you will until your mind starts,
starts racing, all those things that you hold onto
it's been a while since you've faced them.
It's going to be cold today, and you tell me
that it's already cold today. I'm here beside you,
if you need anything, listening, and loving.
