I scatter the words
(each written on an A4)
across the floor
I
Love You
So
Very very
Much
which you discover
as you tip-toe out to wee
picking up the sense
as you go
your laughter
reaching me
as you reach
the last word.
That night
our first apart
(in our first month)
you use them
as stepping stones
across my absence
as they
lead you
from bedroom door to bed
my words
holding tenderly
each little step
that takes
you to
your dreams
where we
kiss
