I wake up in the morning

Thinking of the day ahead –

Of work

Of stress

Of traffic

Of  people

Of you –

And then everything becomes okay.

I take a bath and

I see the day ahead –

The work

The stress

The traffic

The people

You –

And then everything becomes okay.

I get to work and

Think of how long the day ahead of me is

Think of the stress I have to deal with

Think of the boss I have to put up with

Think of the girl that annoys me

Think of everything unnecessary

Think of your beautiful face and how you kissed me good night last night-

And then everything becomes okay.

I go to lunch and

Walk to where you are

Look left and right and cross the street

Look left and right and cross the street

Look left and right and cross the street

Think of the day that has passed and

See how nothing has happened

See how hot the weather is

See how it’s only midday and

See you smiling and waving at me –

And then everything becomes okay.

I drive home and

Think of the day that has passed

Think of the cars beside me

Think of the pedestrians crossing

Think of the holes on the street

Think of how I can drive peacefully

Think of how we’ll cook dinner together –

And then everything becomes okay.

We get home and

I think of how this day has passed by

Think of tomorrow

And then I see the piles of work ahead of me

See the things I have to finish

See the uncertain future

See you sleeping soundly in my arms –

And then everything becomes okay.

I wake up the next day

Nothing is certain

Nothing is clear

Bouts of depression about to kick in

But I think of how you hold me

How you look at me

How you kiss me

How you stay

How

How

How much you love me –

And then everything becomes okay.

Starting work on Monday. Hopefully I’ll last long this time - bodily chemicals won’t kick in.

Also, I’m starting to canvas law schools, hoping I could study while working.
