step into the waiting room, and say in the same warm tone, "Are you ready?"
You always used to
open your office door, step aside, gesture toward the couch (had I maybe forgotten where it was?)You always used to
apologize self-conciously for a cluttered floor I would never have noticed.You always used to
pull out that bottom drawer a bit, to prop one foot on (at 6' 6", hard to get comfortable)You always used to
fix gentle, blue eyes on mine, and ask as if you'd never before asked me, or anyone, such an important question, "How's your mood been?"You always used to
sit so amazingly, incredibly still, patiently allowing me time to struggle for words.You always used to
mirror my sarcasm back at me, then just as quickly explain, soften it, afraid you had maybe caused painYou always used to
tell me to do or say anything I needed, whatever made me feel as safe as possible.You always used to
laugh uncomfortably, yet look at me with sad understanding when I'd reply, "How about stay in your office forever?"You always used to
be here.
8 months exactly today.
Miss the peace of your presence
Heartache. Hurts.
oh dear.
