With You

Every day

there are new ways

to miss you

In your absence

I see again

all the quiet

special

softlysweet

things

you do

An oasis song

composed by your love

cuddled close

only to enjoy a moment of

reciprocal proximity

But now 

all I have 

is

your voice

accessible at the end

of the day

at the end

of the line

A daily ritual

my last call

as pleasurable

as my first 

morning sip

hot and creamy

sweet and dark

not necessary

but oh,

what indulgence

as I slide into 

my day

All is well

taken care of

in order

for right now

But as I lay down

after

single in my double

I plot and plan

my mind lays out

endless

permutations and

computations

of how this will end

or rather

begin

more and more

I want to begin

with you

I am ready 

to end

with you
