Five O'Clock in the Morning

- March 15, 2021  ...five 'clock in the morning, and here you are all alone.."

He awoke and three a.m. and is still awake at five a.m.   Ringing in his ears are the words "You need to spend some time learning to love yourself."

Huh?   Pseudo psychology or misapplication?  Such words probably sold some books.

But at three a.m.all he desires is roll over in a warm soft be, and caress the bare shoulder or soft hair of a woman he loves.  

He wants to lay there for a few moments in the dark and watch her every breath rise and fall in her chest and think of her smile, her laughter and even her tears from the day just past. 

He longs to wrap his arm around her waist and without waking her, pull her into himself and sleep until five a.m.

That is how he would love himself.

After a twenty five years with a woman it is five o'clock in the morning and here he is since 3 am thinking "I'm all alone."  Is anyone else out there, not knowing what to do?     

..to cry? Or don't cry?  That is the man's question.
