Topic of Discussion: Anything

Topic of Discussion: Anything

We’d often sit together topic of discussion:

Anything.

Anything would equal endless amount of time.

The time? 4:00 in the morning and you’d drive home.

“I’m home safe, sleep well”. I would always be reassured.

Sometimes, though not often, we wouldn’t be so happy

I was mad at you for this

Or that.

That wasn’t the best time and I still feel sad for it was wasted

Often enough you’d hold my hand

But I’d want you to keep holding

Holding on to distant memories

“I still hope” a whisper you’d say

Memories are often like a dream

Were you a dream? Was I just sleeping

I sleep alone and you’re so far

I don’t know to “sleep well”

I don’t know if you’re always okay

So now I wait

Waiting and waiting the time soon comes again

Again we’ll be able to talk

Will it be as often? More often?

Will you tell me “I’m home safe, sleep well”?

Will I wake up in the morning knowing

I’ll see you soon?
