So What if Last Night Didn’t Go as Planned?

Good things come

to those who wait.

This morning I got a call from

our neighbor two doors down.

The Smiths are going away for Thanksgiving

and need me to feed their cat.

They’ll leave house keys in our mailbox.

The thought of a private place

just for me and Brendan

fills my chest

with a cozy something,

makes me smile.

I peer out the windshield again

sipping my latte and

wondering which Brendan

will show.

Don’t get me wrong.

It’s not like he’s totally schizo—

but with him you can’t

always predict who you’ll get.

Sweet Brendan

Hilarious Brendan

Driven Brendan

Playful Brendan

Soulful Brendan

                         Distant Brendan

depending on the day, the mood.

Inside

and out

different

aspects

combine, make up the whole.

I love them all

because

I love him.
