So Far So Good

It's one o'clock in the morning
he usually goes to bed
while I'm up mourning
the absence of company instead

maybe he's finally realizing
that it's overrated
and to ensure our hours are equalizing
sleeping is generated

games not played though seemingly
time spent in conjunction
I'm not Eve manipulating she merely
wants not to malfunction

this is glorious
we're not concerned with tomorrow
sugar with snips are notorious
the cliché I'll somewhat borrow

he's still awake 
I can't believe it
I'm waiting for the earth to quake
bliss flickers for not to split

Now, both couples and singles are having different kinds of problems then they did years ago. A new life for all. Have a blessed day writing away................

Thank you, Paula. You're right. It is much different than what I remember my parents going through. Hope you have a great weekend :)

I liked this one. Perhaps because I like differences in a relationship that should be honored. Love..."We're not concerned about tomorrow"...how awesome. Panagiota

This poem is heartfelt - all I wish for you both is strength and love - today couples are responsible for so much, each one involved in what has to be done - this is how things are today, in the life we all live. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Nice to be not concerned about tomorrow once in a while. He is still awake--perhaps the same things on his mind. You speak for many couples in this poem, Angela.

Not an ideal situation. Seems when he goes to sleep you have other things to do. Never had such an experience. ~~

This is a bitter-truth in some couples now a days...and with the increasing demands of time...they become very near and yet so far..Well-written, Angela. Blessings..
