Where Did You Go?

Where did you go?
Your place beside me is still warm.
But there is emptiness there.

I awake abandoned
Where are you?
You're mine after all.

Oh...there you are
Out in the kitchen,
Taking care of life.

Taking care of children.
Children who should be off now.
Children who cling.

Children who can care for themselves.
Children just the same.
You are not only mine, but theirs.

No...I won't be jealous.
No...I won't be them.
No...I'll wait.

I'll wait for MY time.
I'll wait for OUR time.
I'll wait.
