Tomorrow Before You
I went ahead and took my nighttime meds an hour early
so I can get to bed
and wake up again tomorrow before you
so I can roll over close
to watch you sleep for several minutes
so I can sneak out of bed
and make coffee stronger than you like it
so I can bring you a cup in your favorite mug
one splenda with a splash of milk
so I can smear enough butter on your toast
you can’t even tell it’s burnt
so I can pretend to read
and secretly watch you do youtube yoga before you hop in the shower
so I can hear the shower curtain scrape open before you pop out
to find your towel already damp because I used it earlier
so I can stare as you get dressed in front of the full-length mirror
that leans against the wall because I still haven’t hung it up
so I can worship the shadows on your lower back
while you put on your socks
dreading the moment you leave for work
