Thought you might be under the covers

So I went looking

I swam to the bottom of my bed with my eyes closed

Feeling around with my hands and my feet

Finding nothing but cold sheets

Listening for your heart beat

Only heard birds chirping good morning

I searched everywhere in that bed

Under those covers for you

Then I remembered

I’d never find you there

You hadn’t ever decided to love me back

So I knew right away

With an exhale

To call off the search

When I finally peeked out

From under all the weight of my covers

My heart was surprisingly ok

She whispered ever so sweetly

The right one will come and he will stay
