valentines day
been a long time
since we've been together
even while living
in this same house
really seemed to drift apart
this year
cell phones and phones
all day
and even the nights at home
spent talking to people
i don't care about
trying to plan this
trying to make this
or the other thing work
at work
two people at home
phone on their ear
and no time for each other
Its the first summer
we didn't sit out back
and see the sunset each night
listen to the neighbors fight
on each side of our house
i really missed that
can remember our first year in this house
sitting out back
as the neighbors were having a particularly
high volume night
and we just got laughing
and placed bets on which one of them
would have a coronary or stroke
first
i'm not sure but i think i'm leading you
two hospitalizations to one
just grateful
each day i didn't come home
to something like that
just endlessly brawling
our way through life
i don't think i could've lasted a day with that
always been a relief to come home
and having you
keep coming home also
but i miss you
and hope
today
is as special
as i'm hoping
it will be
i love you.
