The Loving Feeling
This is page 99 the way my wife and I sleep
and during the night when I half wake up pat
her side of the duvet to be sure that I’m not
reduced to a lonely 9.
There times when she can’t hear my breaths
she shakes me and ask me a daft question and
I know why, it is good to be loved, she to dislike
the idea of waking up alone in a bedroom.
We do bicker during the day, she doesn’t like me
driving around in my scooter, I think she spends
too much time doing housework and re- arranging
which makes me fall on a strange object in the night?
Love is at time irritating we worried too much about
the one we love and I get annoyed if she badgers me,
but come bedtime we are friends again and hope we
both will be there in the morning
