Days are fine but nights can get too much
After a lifetime by myself,
I appreciate having someone else
But our pillows should only be strangers to anyone other than us
I love the attention and phone calls but hate love because it forms routine
Before you my voice was enough but now I need you as a lullaby
I understand you and the plans you have but don’t be gone too long
I celebrate the ambition but remember you are no longer alone
Don’t be so quick with the goodbyes
Chase your dreams and I will chase mine
Just remember I didn’t sign up for sleeping alone
