Sitting here in case you need me

Listening to rhythmic peaceful snoring

So glad you’re sleeping

And breathing

And out of pain

Joy at your battered body healing

Heartened by you taking back control

Pleased to see you building strength up

And smiling

And just being you again

I could sit here forever just being

Here with you, here if you need me

For my heart is bursting with love

And wonder at the miracle that happened

To keep us together again
