Wondering

I've been wondering
lately

who you are
what you are like
at night

when it's late
siting on the porch,

Do you long,
only for a warm bed,

a place to lay your
head,

willing arms to hold
you there,

or will you stay
with me a while

like with a child

who longs to share
the night

speaking

and laughing of
dreams

telling you of thoughts
I've seen

songs I would like to sing,

I wonder

would it make
a difference

if we took off

our wedding rings.
