Until midnight
Or sometimes later
I sit
In the leather chair
Smiling
As I talk to him
About my day
And his day
And what we'll do
Next time
I come home.
In the background
Movies
Music
Friends' chatter
Sometimes distracts me
But then
He says
He likes me or
I make him smile
Or just hi
And I am back
Smiling
Laughing
Counting down
Till I will see him
Again.
