In the night I heard your breath
It woke me from that long dead stretch
But when I looked around everything had changed
The blinds were up your clothes were torn
You had aged, but I won’t morn
The crows feet on your face give character to your skin
And I’m glad this is where we can begin
In a city where the good die or leave
I thought it would be better to sleep
The past 13 years were not a waste
A time capsule
A saving grace
When I woke up I thought to myself
The one thing that put me to sleep
Was the one person worth staying awake for
