waiting

k works late. very late. like getting home at 2am late. and i get up early. very early. like alarm clock buzzing at 5 am early. so i should go to bed early. pretty early. like before dark 9pm early. but for some  reason every night i find myself waiting up for him. and the thing is i know i will go to bed before he gets home because there is no way i will make it until he does. but i still wait up. every night he is gone. because i miss him. and there is an empty spot in the bed next to me.
