I'll Wait

I don't think we're ever ready at the same time.

When I'm walking out the door,

You decide it's time to make coffee.

Or throw your shirt in the dryer.

I used to get annoyed - but I forgot.

I forgot that while I wasn't feeling well,

You were emptying the dishwasher.

While I was negotiating with symptoms,

You were walking and feeding the dog.

While I was trying to eat breakfast,

You were emptying the trash I recently filled to the brim.

So go ahead, please make your favorite coffee.

I'll wait for you.
