The One Who Comes and Goes



 

The One Who Comes and Goes

Last night
while the world rested
we were in bed, wrapped
by our all.
We locked eyes
and hearts
and giggled and tickled.

This morning,
your presence is gone
and your aura has no trail,
not even the echo
of expected laughter -
a carry-over from last night’s.

You’re the one who comes
and goes at will.
This door is yours.
