Past My Bedtime           May 16 

I can’t remember the last time
I stayed up
until almost four in the morning.

I can’t remember the last time 
I laughed so hard 
at something that used to make me cry. 

I’ve never been so happy drifting off
under a blanket on the couch
way past my bedtime. 

I was just watching you work. 
But I was just watching you, 

content to be in your universe, 
listening to your jokes
that I have loved for so long.

Loving even the way you sit back 
in your chair
and take a deep breath. 

Loving the way you touch my hand
and say 
you’re so happy I’m here.
