It was very early when you
Returned your set of
Keys
To my
Mailbox
You had to walk past my parked
Car to reach it
Did you pause?
Did you reach to unlock my gate?
Knowing I was
Inside
Curled up
Sleeping
You know how I
Looked
Hands cradling
Each other and my cheek
Face relaxed
Breath soft
Dark Locks
Spilling across my pillow
Were you tempted
In the least
To
Let yourself in
Enter my bedroom and
Tuck in behind my
Warm
Body?
Or did you just drop the
Keys
Nod or
Exhale
And merely
Go
On
Your
Way?
