The Early Morning After

He left you standing on the porch. Your body feeling ravaged, your hair a mess, and your skin sensitized. You feel the warm summer breeze against the bare skin of your shoulders. The skirt of your strapless dress flutters against your legs.

You watch as his tail lights disappear down the street and you smile softly to yourself. The pre-dawn darkness swallowing the car as it gets further away. He is leaving now, but you know he will be back. Time always has a way of pulling the two of you together.

You walk back into your house and shut the door, your dog nudges your thigh and reach down to pat her on the head. You enter your room with her trailing behind you as you strip the bed before tossing the sheets in the washer.

You run your hand through your hair as you enter your bathroom. You fill the tub with water and light some scented candles. As you sink down into the hot water you feel your sore muscles begin to relax. You pull your hair up into a knot and lean back against the tub, closing your eyes. As you drift away you remember the look on his face as he kissed you goodbye.

Yes, he will be back. He always comes back.
