Goldfinch At Dawn Poem by Victoria Hardy

I would just wish for one more night.
Listening to you breathing,
Laying beside me
In all your innocence
Without your guard
Without your pride.
Then I would hear the goldfinch
Just like I heard that night.
Singing in dawn happily...
Trying to attract a partner...
Yes I was awake,
Listening to you
Even if you weren't talking.
Then I closed my eyes.
And remembered how lucky that girl is...
To listen to you breathe
Every night.
To smell you
Every morning.
To kiss you
Whenever you smiled.
Like you smiled at me that morning.
And the best thing is
You would never leave her
Like you left me that morning.
She would be the one you go back.
