By My Side

One day at a time

You’re by my side

In silence surrounded by

so much noise on the outside

From sunup to sundown

I’ve gotten use to your presence.

There’s no need for constant

touches, but intimacy is what

I crave.

By my side, I rest under your

light breathing.

By my side, I ponder life

five years from now.

With you by my side,

Darkness is overcome by light.
