No Sofa Is An Island

Lessons On The Sofa

Waking on a friend’s sofa again with the dreaded feeling of the lonely ache
The ache that sheds your weight
The ache that makes you madly want to talk to her
A talk that’s far too late.
Waking on a friends sofa again facing a realisation that she faced 6 months ago
When then without you knowing  her love finally faded
As you obliviously neglected to cherish and thank your luck she ever gave it to you
Because it’s gold.
Waking next to her and watching her eyes open as they meet your’s and she smiles
And so do you because you learned a golden lesson on your friend’s sofa.
