Toothbrushes and T-Shirts

 
 
 
It's not so uncommon anymore  
to find you have utilized your key  
 
Shoes by the door  
you've "turned on the heat  
so you won't be cold"  
 
And I'm warm  
and thankful  
 
For the sound of your before bed shower  
 
your toothbrush in its place  
your t-shirt in the closet  
 
Slowly  
but surely  
you belong  
 
Good night kisses on neck
and nose
 
The grip on my waist firm  
 
I sleep on the left side of the bed  
and you feel like home
