Harry's house

Keep driving

Maple syrup
Coffee, pancakes for two
Hash brown, egg yolk
I will always love you

You're surprised to see me.
Frozen.
Stare.
I get insecure
Maybe you don't want me here?

Then you finally move.
Whimper.
Throw yourself at me.
Hug me.
So tight.

You tell me how happy
you are to see me.
How much you have missed me.
Music to my ears.

I bury my face in your neck.
Breathe in your scent.
So familiar.
Home.

I get teary-eyed.
You too.
We just look at each other.
Smile.

You just made breakfast.
Pancakes for two.
Like you somehow knew
That I would come home today.

Warm chest.
Too tight.
Searching your eyes
for answers I might not want to hear
but I have to know.

You ask for my forgiveness.
Tell me how sorry you are.
Talk about how badly you have handled our time apart.

You didn't have fun without me.
You were miserable
just like me.

I'm relieved.
I get up
sit on your lap.
I don't really fit anymore
but I don't care.

Cup your face.
Take it all in
before I kiss you.
Same soft lips.
Still makes my heart beat faster.

Desperation.
Fumbling hands.
It has been so long
since we were intimate.
I've missed it
almost as much as I've missed you.
You first, always.

You carry me to our bedroom.
We reconcile.
And then one more time.
Third time is a charm, right?

I'm finally back where I belong.
Laying in your arms.
Counting the hair on your chest.
Teasing you that it's at least two more.
You laugh.

I know that everything
won't magically be fine between us.
You quit. Again.

We need to talk about this.
Solve our issues.
It won't be easy
but you're always worth it.

We just have to keep driving.
