THE MAGIC OF A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP

Sometimes it’s just hard.
How do you explain that to them.
You get up when you don’t feel like it,
You go to work,
And somehow you get through the day.
Like any other,
And you think,
I thought it would be different.
Or
I want it to be different.
But,
Then,
Yeah…
…it’s not.
It’s just hard.
Then one morning you wake up
And the sunrise looks different.
Or the look on your partner’s face,
Seems funny.
So you chuckle,
Maybe just a bit, when no one is looking.
Somehow,
Things shift,
In a particular way.
Or someone says something to you,
In a particular way,
Like they SEE you.
Expressive,
Like they meant it.
Magic.
When I wasn’t expecting
Anything at all,
Really.
So I guess I’ll try again.
