Alone

After so many years with only myself,
You arrived ~ There you were
And suddenly "me" was "we"
And "mine" became "ours."
The thought of
Waking alone - No smile to greet me,
No one to rouse me when I
Dose on the couch
Or question my dinner of popcorn -
So alien now to think of.
But alien too and frightening
To have forgotten
What if feels like to have only me
To look after.
