Sweet Breakfast

Got up and
met you
for breakfast.
A little early
but we are trying
to see each
other
before I
have to go
to work.
My life
has been
work, and
I am starting
to wind down
from it.
But no choice
still need the money.
We get there
and you have not  shaved.
I like this.
A big smile from
both of us.
at opposite
sides of the
parking lot.
As we walk and
get closer
our smiles
get bigger.
Hey you.
You say.
Hey.. I say.
come here
woman you
say and give
me a big hug.
You sway 
with your hug and
right before
I let go of you
you whisper
in my ear..
One day soon
this will
be normal.
Seeing you
hugging you
and having
a sweet breakfast
with you.
Really I say.
And smile.
Yes by the time
my youngest is
out of school
you will be out
of school
and we will
be at the same
place at the
same time.
You are right..
I smile and respond.
You hold my
hand and lead
me into
the restaurant.
But now
the first step..
Breakfast.
You smile and
wink.
You are right,
I think
the first step
breakfast.
