Just Breakfast

I got five minutes at breakfast today
Talking of life in a narrative way
Breakfast on me I offered to pay
Diplomatically 'something later' you say

I watch when you look away
Catching precious glimpses my eyes stray
Curve, shadow, lighting shadows play
A magical comfort in the special for today

Its time to go a few moments mine
Will I keep sacred and sublime
Knowing that you will be back sometime
Next weekend, fortnight or sunshine

There's much unsaid without a tennis shoe
That would probably irritate anew
The woman I behold in you.
Take care, return safely, I'll miss you.
