Ode to Him Who Brings Me Coffee

To Him Who...
...wears his sweater backwards
...loves the mirror on my vanity
...nurtures his emerging six-pack
This morning you were missed.

To Him Who...
...dutifully reports obnoxious church signs
...knows I won't cry if I'm put through to voicemail
...calls when there's a crime within a 500-mile radius
Today you were missed.

To Him Who...
...tucks me in before midnight
...faithfully wears earplugs instead of sleeping on the sofa
...provides the safest darkness I have ever known
Tonight you are missed.

To Him Who Brings Me Coffee Every Morning...
...Hurry Home.
