Just Because…

You are not home and I am

The sun sets early and I long for this day to end

I love and like and hate and love and like, and on and on it goes

I dream

Do you remember that dream you had years ago, before we were married and parents?

I had one like that the other night

Now I understand why you were so agitated

Funny, that meeting and melding of dreams and reality

That fog in the middle
