The Future With You Poem by Louise Tredoux

When I woke up, you were not here
wanted to hold you, whisper in your
ear, suddenly missed you so much
where are you, why did work take
you away from me, I want to fall
asleep with my head on your chest,
listen to your breathing next to me,
wake you and hold you, listen to your
laughter, your exclamations when
you discover what I made for you…

You are not here, but the beauty of
your presence fills my soul with a
sweet warmth, I’m happy while I wait
for your return, happy to say hello
on the cell-phone, I’m delighted with
the memories you left, looking forward
to the future with you…
