Be With Me

Day Fifteen


The supper you made was delicious
Thank you for that
It was not until later in the evening though,
When I was preparing for the next day's work
That I noticed the chair you had placed
Pulled out from the table and facing the kitchen
There you could rest
While the peppers simmered, the vegetables steamed
And I wondered
How I would miss your presence in years to come
When you were no longer there
To cook for me after a long day
To care for my well-being
The out-turned chair confirms your presence
It reveals you thinking of me
If I leave it exactly where it sits,
Will you be with me forever?
