There was a time I loved you.
It was yesterday, about ten o’clock.
You called me from your office
And asked what I wanted for dinner.

Now it’s dark, and I’m waiting for you to be gone to bed
Long enough for me to slip past you into the spare room.

Succinct and clever

And the title makes the whole thing work--gives it depth, if I have interpreted it correctly. Well done.

Wonderful and sad how a few simple words can evoke so much.

Lovely.
