Always In The Morning
It always takes a moment
when I wake up
to remember you're not here.
Our garden says hello again
its looking overgrown.
I've not touched it all year.
It's always in the morning when I miss you.
It's always when the bedroom curtains glow.
It's always when the birds sing words
of summertime and daisies.
It's when my icy cornflakes tell me I'm alone
that I wave a magic wand
and wish you back in our home.
Our evening friends remember all the goodness.
The stars remind me we not alone.
I've bought your favourite thing for tea
but I'll cook it for myself,
and when I click the nightlight, see your x's on the phone,
I'll close my eyes and see you
back in our home.
It always takes a moment
when I wake up
to remember you're not here.
