Did You Get Loved Enough?

Sitting quietly smiling
Taking in every single word I say.

Steam from our coffee cups
on the table
rises up between our faces

You're the only one
who gives me the time I need
to find the words I need to say,

and because of that,
you know my heart so well
more than people I see every day.

You've been the 9 to 5 guy
All of your life
Sat in the Church pew every Sunday
next to your wife

You raised three girls
wiped away all their tears
walked them down the aisle
but the job didn't end there, did it?

Because here you are again
sitting across from me.

Needing everything you have to say.

And after everyones taken care of
all all our needs are met,
there's just one thing I wonder
One thing I have to ask
Did you get loved enough?
