One Night
As she sat at the edge of their bed,
thoughts of the night before flooding her mind,
trying to hold back the tears,
she thanked him for his time.
He says,
"No thanks necessary"
but she knows and understands on a different level,
just how valuable his time really is,
and how little of it, she actually gets...
-His time, his attention; that's all she wants
So, she thanks him again,
then goes back to her thoughts.
She has a hard time giving up.
Even harder time letting go,
With every failed attempt of getting his attention back,
Even if it's only for a moment...
It's those moments she holds,
Close to her heart,
Cherishing them forever.....
...and even more when they're apart
