Every Day

I want to write you a letter
About how the morning rises with a kiss on my forehead
And the light breathes its first breath through our velvet curtains

I want to write you a letter
About our dogs and cats
How they nap at my feet and on my chest
Leaving no space for loneliness

I want to write you a letter
About that glass of red wine
The one you pour at the end of a long day
And how it tastes like home on holiday

I want to write you a letter
One that details the moments before, during and after
When you’ve come home
When barks of joy fill our home
And I’m met with a warm embrace
So, warm that my chest explodes into planets of joy

And I pull a little tighter
And hold a little longer

Because I want to write to you
Every Day
