Missing Me
Here I sleep alone, my choice of course,
Just down the hall my man sleeps,
He slumbers away and here I sleep by myself
Of course I could swallow my pride and
Lay down by his side but at whose price?
Gentle snoring noises comes from his room
I get up and shut the damn door
Is he missing me? The warmth of my scent
As I lay next to him, probably
Doesn't even notice I'm gone
Laying face up staring at nothing,
I wish I were back in my own bed
The, couch and all its lumps is putting
My spirits in the dumps
Sleeping so soundly,
I wonder if I tiptoe into his room,
Would he notice if I lay down beside him
Quietly, easing my way along a darkened hallway,
I stop, take a deep breath and slowly open the door,
My man sits up opens his arms
All my thoughts are gone
Guess I won't be sleeping alone
My man's look says it all,
No apology needed
Together lying wrapped in each other's arms
We drift off to sleep, him snoring and me smiling,
He missed me after all
