You forgot something—

A stream of morning sunlight

in bed, when you left

    Oh, so tender! This protagonist is so full of hope and sadness and the ratio of the two keep shifting before my eyes.

    What a sweet yet sad poem. I like how the em-dash serves as a sort of visual representation of the stream of morning sunlight in the poem itself. It's very creative. Thank you for sharing this with us.
