Goodnight

We video chat
Before we go
To sleep,
I read before
We chat and
She reads after
We chat because
I am EST and
She is PST.
I wonder what
It will be like
To share a bed
Again after
So many years
Alone.
Our mutual
Affection is
Palpable.
Sharing seems to me
The natural way
Things should
Be done:
Sleeping, eating
And living.
I know the pattern
I seek to make
Me comfortable,
I hope she will
Be happy to
Fit our lives
Together.
A pattern of
Give and take.
Our goodnight
Chats help us
Adjust to one
Another while
I heal up my
Foot wound
And prepare
To share what
Is left of
Our lives.
We will
Grow and
Explore,
Together.
