When you wake up
in the morning, do you
jump right out of bed
now that you don’t
feel obligated to stay
a few minutes
just to hold me?

down the stairs
and get your first
hot little cup of coffee,
are you still humming and
singing your morning song?

you’ll never know
all the love we could have had
