Plain

I hope it will someday be ordinary
To have you sitting with me, side by side;
And though I know our schedules will still vary,
I hope they will not frequently divide
Us from each other - that, in time, we two
Will become used to being in one place,
Accustomed to my being next to you
And you being engaged in my embrace.
I hope that it will be a common sight
To see us sitting at one dinner table;
That it will not seem some trick of the light
To have us very close - that we are able
To always be so. This I hope - yet pray
We won't forget the way things were today.
