Hello rubs my ankle by the front door

Winding missed you around each step

Nimble footsteps of how are you

Following me from room to room

From making dinner to cleaning up

Your curled purring my evening’s soundtrack

Slow blinks on the book I want to read

Could have done without the goodnight leap on my belly when I’m sleeping

I love you snores too close to my head

Sighing into sleep

I scritch I love you back
