Without You

By Laura Hutcheson

Verse

Pink sunrise. You bring me coffee in bed.
Icicles cling to the eaves.
New snow glistens. You’re kissing me.
Your loose white robe tumbles open

Chorus

Where would I be without you
Where would I be without you

Verse

Snow is melting. You step into the street,
Slip on the ice. A car darts past.
Stop I scream. I can’t breathe.
You take my hand and say everything’s all right

Chorus

Verse

Eyelids droop, your glasses slide down your face
I turn off the light & the news.
Gently I take your hand, “it’s time for bed.”
The full moon brushes shadow on your head

During Covid, Camille and I lived in the dead of the Colorado winter and reconnected in a way we never had before. It made me wonder what my life would be like without this wonderful person at my side.
