Across The Room

This poem came to me watching a girl on the other side of a room. We were married a year and a half later :)

I watch you sitting across the room

Your sadness washes over me

And reminds me how different it is

When you are with me.

You sit there now

The loneliness so apparent

Why am I the only one to notice?

Is it because I love you beyond all others

Or is it because you love me

And want nothing more

Than to sit by my side

Upon my lap

Resting against my beating heart

To breathe in steady rhythm

And touch each other in love.

I watch you sitting across the room

Your sadness washes over me

And reminds me of how happy

I could make you

if you were just here beside me.
