we say goodnight,
then goodnight,
and once more a goodnight
of softening kisses –
just as the dawn
cracks the night
I count the hours of you
that remain to me,
and tuck them about us –
thin comfort against
the coming light

That’s gorgeous Sarah. Especially ‘thin comfort against the coming light’.
Sweet, pensive- lovely last lines.
