Periodically.

We see each other twice a day
.
Once when the light is streaming through the curtains
Once again, when the light through the lampshade illuminates your bedside
You hold onto me
, gripping me tightly
, as I move back and forth

Caressing the parts of you that are normally hidden away
Our time together is brief, almost professional

And I wish it wasn’t.
Everyday I see that, because of me, your smile is brighter and wider
,
But maybe it’s all in my head
And I realize that our two-times-a-day relationship

Doesn’t satisfy me any more, and it’s such a shame
Because I know that this,
Is all I get.
