I stayed up until 4am with you
enchanted by your melodious voice
hanging on every word
I sat so still in your glow
when I dared move, slowly
I uncoiled one limb at a time
I did not wish to say good night
to you my dear
when sleepiness closed my eyes
I should have worried not
for you accompanied me
even in slumber
whispering in my thoughts
between dreams
greeting me at daybreak
When I have typed
the final word
will you still come for tea
You
My first
short story
