What would she do?

At night

I did

go to sleep

and wish

my love

sweet dreams

At night

I did go

to bed

and give

to my love

one last kiss

At night

in preparing

to retire

I would brush

my loves

hair

At evening

I did

hold my love close

or squeeze

my loves

hand

At evening

I did

watch my love read

or busy herself

as I

did the same

At evening

we did

share a meal

share a walk

excitedly discuss

the days events

In morning

I did

bid my love

farewell

a quick kiss

and hug

In morning

I did

make my love

a small

breakfast

to start her day

In morning

I did

wake my love

as she slept

more soundly

than I, in my way

But eventually

my love

lost the habit

of holding me close

waking with me

of taking with me

her meals

There was

one last time

I brushed

her hair

Still, I wonder

if she knew

the effort

it took

to give up

the feeling

of love

I had

for her

what would she do?
