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.
