Heart Broken so many times.
She showed up and did the best for someone so closed.
Sat on the couch pretending not to see.
Cooking and trying not to see.
Waiting. Looking as I went about not believing what I sought.
Silently opening the door not believing what I see.
Last her giving up.
Then a thought, let me see when all is sleep.
What he truly feels for me she thought.
So in the bed, silently she climbs.
Edging ever so carefully close next to me.
Waiting breathlessly to see what he truly felt for me.
Stirring he came to consciousness and a sharp breath he drew.
Then a gasp and a sigh and arm put around me.
Then I knew as he whispered, Please let me wake not from this to be. ~LArry
