I leave you behind to wait
I over stepped myself, past my limits
not beyond my capacity but beyond my choices of self care
I want to be with you.
I want to enjoy with you
our time
our fun
our joy
our talks
our walks
our wonder
our arguments and bickering.
Our back and forth and banter
I stepped out to the car
to leave you behind
you wander.
You explore without me
I rest
I decompress
you get your exercise
